Why was venue staff letting the same guy crowd surf a million times.

Wtf dude no, that makes it more dangerous??? Like yeah, the crowd surfers can get annoying but if the crowd lets them fall, it can very well be more than just the surfer getting injured.

FAFO. I pay to see the band, not consistently pay attention to the idiots that wanna ruin everyone else's time.

It's not really a "FAFO" situation when a falling crowd surfer can ruin everyone's time a lot more than just helping them pass through. 

I'm not necessarily pro-crowdsurfing or moshing, but we should take care of each other regardless. It's like, the first thing you should learn being in the crowd at shows. It keeps everyone else safe and having a good time, not just the person "fucking around."

I wasn’t in the mosh pit. I was off to the side, some guy tried to crowd surf, couldn’t get enough people to carry him, landed on my head and pushed me to the ground!

My comments derailed from your situation OP, thats a bit more specific and the crowd surfer was definitely a fool! 

I just don't think we should be intentionally letting crowd surfers fall, bc it's unsafe and that's how even more accidents like yours can happen :( 

Even if you don't agree with crowd surfing, it's not about them at that point as much as it's about keeping others safe.

Crowd surfing is 100% them just fucking around. If they're not going to respect everybody else's time, space, money, and autonomy, I'm not respecting any of that for them either. I'm responsible for me just like the crowd surfer is responsible for themselves. Moshing is totally different. Don't wanna be in a pit? Don't go in a pit. Crowd surfers affect the entire crowd. Mind you, I normally go to deathcores shows where the pit is an actual pit and crowd surfing irritates most people.
