Are you going to a concert this weekend? Have you seen the pits and have always been curious, but are concerned that you may come out with a broken face? With a little know-how and a lot of courage, you can make your way through a mosh pit and who knows? You might jump right back in.

(PS when you find yourself in a competitive environment for a house that you really want…follow the MOSHING steps below)

Steps

1. Know what you’re getting into. Be objective and recognize that you may get hurt, and you’re definitely going to get covered in the sweat (and maybe even the saliva or blood) of complete strangers. While the objective of a mosh pit is to make physical contact without getting hurt, there is a good degree of unpredictability and risk. If you’re considering making your debut in a mosh pit, be aware of the potential consequences and make sure that they’re worth the thrill.
2. Wear the right gear. Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting stained or even ruined. Your outfit should also be comfortable and light, since it will get hot in the pit. Steel toe shoes are a good idea so that your toes don’t get crushed, as you can count on them getting stepped on. Make sure your shoes fit tightly and lace them well, because if it falls off, you’ll have an impossible time getting it back and your unprotected foot will suffer in the meantime.
3. Brace yourself. Whether in the mosh pit or out, you need to keep your hands and more specifically your arms prepared. Don’t look like you’re ready to strike someone (you’ll freak people out and probably get yourself beat up), but certainly don’t put yourself in a position where your hands are going to be stuck to your sides and you accidentally get your face knocked by someone’s skull flying at you, but you weren’t ready for it.
