Much better than crowdsurfing, especially when the people closest to the stage are sniveling weaklings.

Are there moshpits at festivals, or is that a rock/Taylor Swift exclusive thing?

I've gotten hurt more often from crowdsurfing and circlepits than moshing or walls of death.

People die swimming as well, but I'm not going to stop doing it because of that. You can't die if you don't live first.
What is a mosh pit like? I've never been to any type of concert

You can't die if you don't live first.you won't die swimming if you're not an idiotthere's no intelligent way to moshthere just isn't, it's a purely stupid thing to do
refusing to live because you'll die is silly too.
It's also why there are more "rules" to moshing now too, by the way. You're supposed to stop if someone falls down (which can happen easily while crowdsurfing as well).

Possible danger isn't the same as significant danger; part of rationality is being able to understand that you aren't guaranteed to die just by taking a walk in the snow, or cooking overy a fire.

Possible danger isn't the same as significant danger; part of rationality is being able to understand that you aren't guaranteed to die just by taking a walk in the snow, or cooking overy a fire.None of these things are tantamount to moshing, though. You're not "refusing to live" if you don't go to mosh pits--you're just intelligent. You aren't "refusing to live" if you go out in the rain--you're just intelligent.It's easy enough for me to think that, "Hmm, maybe slamming into a bunch of people and stomping around could potentially severely injure somebody, if not kill them" than it is for me to visualize the possibility of me getting struck by lightning, and you're basically comparing those two things right now, and it's kinda silly.
Yes and no. I got dropped head-first at a concert I went to Friday. Turns out there were two other people crowd surfing in my direction and we all collided into each other. Thankfully people are cognicant of their surroundings; the people around us stopped and helped us back onto our feet.
I'm not comparing them, I'm specifically pointing out how silly it is to say "people died doing that before". People have died going to see a movie. Point is that it doesn't happen often enough to pose a significant risk.

Ended up awkwardly being semi-lowered to the ground instead.

As many as 50 concertgoers at New Jersey's Bamboozle Festival this weekend reportedly sought medical attention after a mosh pit got out of hand.Witnesses reported seeing several of the 70,000 attendants treating bloody noses and worse, getting carried out on stretchers.
-That's kind of backpedalling from "its more than you think".-I can't find anything more recent that relates to death. Link it if you find more recent information.-http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4804513&page=1. And every time I'm seeing them bring up injuries, they are crowd-surfing related.
AMA just arrived home from my first music festival
