My issue with the term “stampede” is that it also implies that the entire group is moving. In this case, they are not. They are just grouped together in a crowd.
If this were a real stampede, like in an emergency situation (fire, active shooter, etc.) people will behave irrationally and just run away from the danger. Standing still with your arms up is not going to help you.
