Safe in a Crowd

I was trapped in a dense crowd of people at Carnival last night. I was not overly concerned and was actually having a fairly good time. My companion was a bit overwhelmed and stressed out.

I have been thinking about the real dangers posed by crowding after experiencing it, and I found this article about how to take steps to be increase your safety.

I think the most crucial thing to think about is avoiding being swept into a crowd in the first place. Obviously, crowds happen because there is a particular place that everyone wants to be, like in front of the stage.
