crowdsurfers
Audience-borne concert attendees
Crowdsurfers are concertgoers who ride atop the outstretched hands of the audience, passed along from person to person above the crowd.
The practice typically occurs at rock, punk, and metal shows, where fans launch themselves from the stage or are lifted up from the floor: Security pulled crowdsurfers over the barrier one after another.
