stagedive
Crowd-trust freefall
A stagedive is the act of jumping from a concert stage into the crowd below, trusting the audience to catch you.
Associated with punk and rock shows, it's both a performer's gesture of abandon and a fan's act of participation.
To stagedive is to make such a leap: He stagedived during the encore and the crowd carried him to the back.
