myself, as well as everyone else, heard about the guy being hit by the ricky scaggs tour bus. i also heard that as of saturday night 6 people had died of overdoses, and 1 girl had a sleeping disorder & they werent able to wake her up & she was possibly going to die as well. anyone else have any more details on deaths/injuries?
According to multiple reliable sources, including USA Today and the Washington Post, there was only one death this year: the man who wandered onto the interstate and was hit by a tour bus.
There have been no fact-based stories of any other deaths. I have not seen any information on injuries; those would be almost impossible to calculate.
In 2005, there was one death, attributed to sleep apnea. In 2004, there were two overdose deaths.

2 deaths this year, based on internet news sources. 1 by the bus and a contractor who was thrown from the back of the pick-up. Guess that means he wasnt a fan just working.

I was in the med tent a few times to get my burns wrapped up and the nurses kept telling me the mushrooms this year must be really strong cause they have had a lot of people tripping way to hard on them.
My friend freaked out and called his mom and said he was dead. We couldnt find him till the next morning and that was only because we stopped a policeman who put his name out and said he was checked into a hospital.
during clap your hands say yeah's set, some girl behind us must have eaten too many shrooms and was freaking out. her boyfriend was trying to calm her down and she kept screaming "who are you!? i don't know you!!" then medics came with a stretcher and took her away. that must have sucked.
i keep hear abotu people freaking on shrooms. my guess is most people just assume that. i dont think its possible to freak on shrooms like that. ive eaten tons with lots of poeple and no ones ever freaked. most of the freakers are on lsd or pcp or are meth heads. or they eat chocolates that arent as advertised. my sister didnt do too well with the mushroom carmels that turned out to be acid. nothing too bad. she just had to go back and lay down.

During the Dungen show the guy right next to me fell onto the ground and started these massive spasms with his back arched in the air. He then lay still for like 10 or 20 seconds while people started crowding around and trying to help him up. He then stood up, looked around, and kept watching the show even though his face was covered in dirt and sand from falling on the ground. He didn't even seem to notice it.
^ No, people were freaking out on shrooms, trust me. My friend also called her mom and told her she was dead and the Med tent people had to grab the phone from her and tell her mom she was okay just having a bad trip. In the tent she was at (I was at Radiohead during all this) there was a 17-year old girl who ate way too much.

Shrooms in my opinion are ALOT easier to freak out on than Acid. Pcp is obviously easy to freak out on but I didnt see or get offered any Pcp at Bonnaroo. I would assume that a bunch of people did freak out on shrooms, my friend ate some there and was confused for a couple of hours but still had a good time and hes tripped plenty of times. How do you know there was acid in the carmel, Because if it was just one dose then thats pretty hard to bug out on.
we could just tell by the trip we got. everyone in my group stopped doing acid years ago because mushrooms are more fun ad left us feeling much better. good clean acid is hard to come by anymore. especially at festies. they were 15 dollar carmels so they probably had a couple hits in them. but ive done enough of both that i can tell the differences in the trip. plus it hit my firends really hard and it took a while for me to feel it. im ususlly 20 - 30 minutes behind the group when it comes to the effects of acid. i enjoyed it though. they all left me down there to go back to camp and i had to catch moonshine still and toubab by myself. but it didnt bother me in the least. i met some awesome people and had a killer time

On Thursday night there was some guy tripping on acid out by the Austin Powers area who was just standing in the middle of the road yelling "Billie! Donna!" or some variation of those names. He actually grabbed a guy in front of us and shook and then smacked him in the face before wandering around again. Surreal.

Anyone see that dude freak out during Umphrey's/Disco Biscuits? He just started running full speed into a giant group of people in the middle of the floor. Some dudes came and got him out of there, and that's the last I ever heard.
who saw the guy towards the back beer tent before Radiohead, flapping his arms like a freaking bird over and over again! It was great! He was real cracked out looking, and just kept standing up sort of hunched over flapping his wings!
that is so fucking sad man. for the guy, his friends and family, anyone who witnessed it and ricky skaggs and his crew. what a horrible thing to happen
yeah, my heart goes out to that man's family as well... such a tragedy..
I never saw anything that got too out of hand this weekend... there was this one kid who I think took too much acid on sunday and was reciting this wacked out crazy poetry all jumbled and garbled, but that's about the extent of the "too much stuff" type things I saw.
did anyone check out the craziness that was at the start of shakedown on sunday night after Phil ended? tanks all over the place.. it was an absolute madhouse!
who saw tha naked man running around between this tent the the other tents kinda where the artwork was at during rusted root, he ran around doing flips in the dirt butt ass naked and woulld roll in the dirt like an animal, get up flip and do it all over agian, he would occasioanlly cup his balls and then two med guys showed up, and then eventually like 9 yellow shirt dude chased him down while the crowd was cheering, fuck up shit, i bet he apopgized like hell for what he put those guys trhrough
One of my friends we went with ate some shrooms on Thursday afternoon and had a really bad trip. He thought everyone around us wanted to kill him so he just walked away. It turned out he called his parents and said "come pick me up, they're gonna kill me" and then kept walking until he actually left Bonnaroo completely. Of course, as soon as he walked out of Bonnaroo he got arrested for Public intoxication and resisting arrest and they cut off his wristband. When he came down he paid his bond and got a lift to a hotel and slept for the night/took a shower. In the morning he walked to a gas station barefoot (he lost his sandals when resisting arrest apparently) and hitched a ride to a store to buy shoes. He then walked to one of the gates at Bonnaroo and, after buying a scalped ticket, showed back up at our campsite Friday before we even went down to Centeroo.

My boyfriend claims to have went to the medic tent and asked how many people died, and he said they said 24 people died. Maybe they were just fucking with him or maybe he was just fucking with us, but I didn't believe that then and I don't now. 24 is a LOT of people to be dying. My friend and I did see one kid at the medic tent near the 8 ball, pretty much completely passed out with a ton of people around him trying to keep him awake. He didn't look like he was going to make it.
We got pulled over on the way home and the TN trooper said there were "only" two deaths this year, compared to four last year.
Oh yeah, and then there was the naked guy that broke his leg jumping from the lighting boom at dios(malos) Thursday night.
~D>
Yeah, there was a second death this year, but it was before Bonnaroo. A construction worker died a couple weeks before the event by being thrown off of a truck.
Hey we took pics of that guy getting taken down at Umphrey's/ Biscuit's show. We were near the back, so didn't know what he had done. It was pretty crazy. Plus we saw a guy acting like a bird and dancing all crazy at Radiohead. It wasn't near the beer tent, but the guy was moving all over the place so it could have been the same guy (or there was something going around making people act like birds!). He was so f*ed up that he was hilarious to watch. At one point he was leaning over an empty lawn chair and fell flat on his face. Before Radiohead he kept screaming for people to stand up for Radiohead and the sunset and just about everything else imaginable. I left to get food at one point, came back and my boyfriend was drinking what ever liquid the guy had in his camelback, which was a little concerning to me!

LOL I saw that guy running around the fountain...thats the point of the day that i wish i had my damn camera!
Did anyone see the stampede of horses that went to the camp that was right in front of Centeroo Sunday night? There was seriously 25 of those horse guys standing above this really dead looking fellow. I sat there and watched and realized the last thing i wanted to see was this. As soon as i turn to go in the guy wakes up and is totally freaked.
last year i had some shrooms during the rat dog show and then walked down shakedown..I felt fine until I was in the begining of the line for jim bruer and all of a sudden fell flat down. I think that triggered the bad trip for me. I just left my girlfriend and the others we were with and stayed in the car for 3 hours tripping really hard. This year was a lot better. I saw damion JR gong, then MMW then went to the arcade wich was so much fun i couldn't stop smiling. then radiohead wich was also a blast. Oh what a good time
^yeah, I had a great trip friday latenight, I went and saw everything crazy that night, like the arcade, silent disco, and sonic forrest. lyrics born was the shit! but I did see a lot more people freakin out this year. anyone see the guy sitting on the ground wraped around one of the poles in the sonic forrest?
