The "crowd surfer" is passed above everyone's heads, with everyone's hands supporting the person's weight.
[1] In early 1980 Peter Gabriel crowd surfed during performances of "Games Without Frontiers" by falling into his audience "crucifix style" and then being passed around.
[2][3] The rear sleeve of his 1983 album Plays Live, recorded during Gabriel's 1982 tour, features a photograph of him crowd surfing.
I had the idea from a game you did with a therapy group where you had to fall backwards and trust the person behind to catch you...At an open-air show in Chicago I was passed around and returned to the stage minus every piece of clothing except my underpants.
[7] Crowd surfing extended for the first time to the classical music scene, when in June 2014 at the Bristol Proms an audience-member was ejected by fellow audience members during a performance of Handel's Messiah after he took the director's invitation to "clap and whoop" to the music a step too far by attempting to crowd-surf.
