Here in Lyon (France) where I go to university every year in may there is a weekend long festival, for which mostly french bands come and one of the days after having drank quite a lot with a friend we went to a reggea/ska concert (music I normally don't even like) and pushed our way to the front. There was the metal fence type thing at the front and we held on to that, but when sometimes the crowd was moving a lot it felt as if our hands were going to get torn out. And then there were also the people whome the crowd was moving above their heads and they got thrown over the fence sometimes, then the security had to take them out from there.
At the time all this was fun, but looking back on it it does sound crazy.
