i'm sciencing as fast as i can
That happened to me
My friends called it a "Crowd Crater"
It sucked, I did a half kinda front flip thing and landed right on my back from a 4/5 ft stage.
You deserved it.

I don't care if you're 5 ft 4 and weigh 110 lbs, if you're flying in my general vicinity, do not expect to be caught. Join the God damn special olympics if you wish to do that shit. 
oh snapI don't know what the deal was with stage diving and wot not but I suppose back then, when Thrash took the world by storm, people didn't really know what to do other than go nuts. It's not like people were moshing at Judas Priest or Whitesnake gigs* so Slayer, Megadeth, etc take the stage and the place erupts. Watching it from the back or from the side (up in the cheap seats) is really an awesome sight to behold.
The next time Slayer play at an outdoor venue, where 25,000 people start moshing and diving, I want that imagery caught from aerial view from above. It must look like human chaos.
* actually some of the most violent diving I've seen is at a Skid Row gig.

No vid will ever compare with the experience of seeing Slayer play a free show, in a tiny club that holds about 600 people, with about 1000 in the venue.
No concert can compare with the pure chaos that was.
A year and a half later and I'm still in pain from holding my front spot, haha.

man that must have fucking ruled ...
I honestly believe that to witness metal energy at its fullest, there is nothing like a Slayer show ... even those of you that don't like them that much should check them out live because I have not seen a band in my 20 odd years or so of concert going that can duplicate their vibe live ... NONE!

After seeing that show, the next Slayer show I saw wasn't even half as awesome as it.
They announced the show less than a day in advance, I got to the venue at 8am with a friend, and waited around. By 10am the line, which was 10 people at 8am, was now about 500 large. By noon, the line has wrapped around 2 blocks and was end was at the other side of the venue. By the time I got in, the line was once again somewhere far off. I was told they turned down almost hundreds of people that night. So not only was I glad to get in, I was very impressed with the fact that I was able to maintain my center stage front spot against the stage.
And the setlist that night, compared to any other slayer setlist I've seen, holy fuck. Opening with South of Heaven, Silent Scream, and Live Undead. Holy shit did that rule.
They also didn't have any of their "stage show shit", it was just them, shitty bar/club lights, and 1000 people.
And the fact that it was free... made the whole experience better.

awesome.
a couple of things crossed my mind when watching that:
a) Slayer should always always go on last at any festival simply because there is not a band on the planet which can follow
b) By virtue of going on last, it's likely that Slayer will be playing at night. Slayer MUST play at night under a blood red sky.

yeah, if I was a member from a band that was about to follow them ... I would just call it quits right then and there.
how the fuck do you follow THAT?
also ... I realized, that I like to go to live shows hoping that one day I will see a band that can deliver live how Slayer does ... its this subconcious thing I guess.
I can't think of anyone that has come even close.

Death Angel would wipe the floor with these fucks. Holy God damn Satan's nutsack in a sling do Death Angel deliver live. They are so fucking good, negars two-step down from the Alabamy hills to see for themselves if this thunderous sound that they're hearing is the second coming of Uncle Tom. To their chagrin, it is a cadre of filipinos tearing up the stage like Krigloch the Furious at a duck vagina buffet. Hit that shit to the right, and slant those eyelids to the side a little more.
Yea no peeking, the destruction will blind you!!!!
