Was anyone at that show? A naked guy climbed up the scaffolding in the tent, and then went monkey bar style out towards the middle of the stage before he dropped (fell). The band kept playing, and I assume the guy was fine, but we never did find out.
I was right in front of where he climbed and fell. He was right in front of my damn face when he stood up on the barricade. One guy asked the safety personnel if he broke his legs and the safety guy said he only broke one. My friend and I estimated it was at least a 20 foot fall from where he dropped. I'm pretty sure the guy didn't even know he was even hurt, let alone where he was.
Plus, his fall led to a swarm of people running up to the front, cutting in front of us and making it crowded.
It was pretty funny/awkward at the same time. The band wasn't sure whether to keep playing or not, they sort of just stuttered for a bit.

That was surreal.
From the back of the tent you could see the band watch him fall and then collectively wince as he hit. From the back of the tent you could also see the grin on that crazy bastard's face - he was having a better time than everyone, at least until he decided to let go.
I had my camera with me, but I thought it would be in pretty bad taste to shoot it. If he wasn't naked I probably would have been more inclined to take some photos.
One guy ran up and shot while the guy was getting his leg splinted, and the safety personnel got pretty agitated right away. And with this being my first 'Roo, I didn't realize that nobody cared I had my SLR with me.
I was close to the front and saw naked guy climbing and then traversing the light rack. I looked down to my camera, and when I looked back up he wasn't there. Zak saw him fall though, and says he has a picture of him climbing.
Man I didn't even see that! I was very close for Dios (Malos) though and I thought they put on an incredible show. I was spun out though, but those guys were like Brian Wilson on crack.
I took the airport shuttle and when i got dropped off, I immediately called my friends who had driven in...one answered his cell and all i could hear was noise..."where are you guys?" I yelled...my friend replied..."some f-ed up englishman is naked and climbing the scaffolding at the show we're at....ouch!!...naked guy just fell!"...
so, while i did not see this event...it was my introduction to the craziness that was bonnaroo...
