Stadium Safety Issue

Understanding the psychology of crowd is difficult. Bound by collective sentiment, it behaves differently from that of an individual. Spontaneous emotions define its mood and acts. It runs counter to the personality and intelligence of individual members. In emergency or rush of mood, it refuses to be dictated by any rational guidance. Characterised by petulance and impulsiveness, the crowd generates both positive and negative consequences. If it is driven by idea of common good, the crowd's verbal and physical behaviour yield positive results. If it lacks clear purpose and superior goal, it turns unruly, resulting in injuries and even loss of lives.
