The show was actually very unsettling, if not downright disturbing. The whole tripper off the balcony episode was intense. We've had trippers go over the balcony before, but never like that. I remember taking him down quite vividly. Legbone and I were among the first respondants on the scene. LB found the tripper who was sitting down. I asked the guy on the top of the heap what happened. He said someone just jumped of the balcony on him and was clearly in shock. As I was trying to comprehend that, the tripper jumped up and screamed and Legbone sidestepped a bit to dodge him, but stayed as close as he could. The guy was bigger than Legbone, sweating and moving very fast. He spun around us both and started to dart into the crowd. I yelled 'take him down!' and dove after his left arm and leg, trusting that Legbone had his right. He did. I tell you this, in those situations, Legbone and I always know we have each other's back. For a long while (or so it seemed), it was just restraining this huge flailing dude because everyone else was working on the head traumas. Somebody eventually helped us with the legs, but he kept falling off - it would have been better if it was just Legbone and me. But we were both tired from previous takedowns, and my grip was slipping. Just in time, we got back up from one of our larger veterans, barfbucket Bob. What a freak scene!
