About stampedes
Crowd crushes are a density problem, not a panic problem. Once crowd density passes roughly five people per square metre, individuals lose control of their own movement and pressure waves can become fatal.
Safety guidance
- Assess exits when you arrive, not when a crowd begins to move.
- If density becomes uncomfortable, move sideways and out early — do not push forward.
- Keep hands and arms up in front of your chest to protect breathing space.
- Stay upright and move with the flow rather than against it.
