I did decide to read a bunch of proper articles about it afterwards and the general consus was there has been 1 well documented case of a fan suffering a brain injury at a Motorhead concert once, but the real trouble people run into is with back and neck problems.

I was mainly annoyed though because you'd have to have brain damage to not realise bouncing around and cannoning yourself about for an hour isn't going to be healthy for your brain, but why come to a show to tell people this?
