stage diver
Audience-bound performer leap
A stage diver is someone who leaps from a concert stage into the crowd below, typically trusting the audience to catch them and pass them overhead.
The practice emerged from punk and rock scenes: Stage divers kept security busy all night.
The term can describe habitual practitioners or anyone mid-leap.
