I know this is an unpopular opinion in the live music community but you are an inexcusable dick if you dive into a crowd, full stop. No one at the front wants to catch your 200lb ass. Seeing a band member do that immature shit (and paralyzing a fan in the process) is a good way to make sure I never listen to them either

I had a fan trip over her own feet and land on top of my head at a punk show over a decade ago. Folded me in half backwards. Pinched my sciatic and messed my lower back up really bad. 10+ years of pain, and I definitely got lucky that I didn't end up worse off....
