While at the Virgin Mobile Festival on July 4th, I was front row centre, right against the baracades, and at the mercy of steel and 1,000s of people pushing me forward.
This is to whoever in the crowd near me would shove my head down whenever some careless crowd surfer came flailing my way.
I thank whoever you are endlessly for perventing a could-be concussion. I wish I knew who you were so I could hug you and give you my first born child, cause I’m pretty sure you also saved my life by stopping my neck getting snapped due to a brutal kick in the head.

Why didn’t you just hug them at the time?
Or were they a superhero like the Flash who would swoop by and save you, then be gone when you turned around?
At these kind of events, it’s not uncommon for crowds to rotate.
True PDG, but she said she was saved several times by this mysterious person and never saw his face?
I think the most logical explanation is that it was a superhero 🙂
Me too.
Concussions can be fun!
No, nevermind. I take it back. I am glad, however, that this superhero kept you safe.
