A woman who claims to have suffered some concerning injuries in the audience for Sleep Token‘s set at this past weekend’s ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival in Louisville, KY has spoken out publicly on her ordeal. She took to a ‘Louder Than Life‘ Facebook group to make this post, where she also shared pictures of herself being attended to by medical staff in attendance at the festival.
Per her post, she claims to have sustained a major concussion and a minor brain bleed after a crowd surfer was apparently forcibly rejected by the crowd, and subsequently was dropped on top of her. She also claimed that the injury knocked her unconscious, after which she went on to suffer a seizure. Her statement was made on September 23rd and read as follows:
“Hey everybody
I just wanted to pop on here and leave something in hopes that the right people see it. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to enjoy past Friday.. I had to be pulled out of the sleep token crowd due to people tossing a surfer out of anger and he landed directly on top of my head. It knocked me out and I had a seizure once unconscious. There’s not much I remember during those moments. BUT, although I couldn’t see her I could hear an angel of a woman’s voice whom I think was also holding my head off of the ground, telling me I’m okay and not leaving to side till I was carried away. I was in and out of consciousness and wasn’t unaware of most things but kept hearing her comforting words throughout it all. It kept me calm for most of it. So I wanted to send her a huge thank you and anyone else who was involved in helping to get me out of there. I have sustained a major concussion and minor brain bleed.
Now, to the absolutely rude, ignorant, and disrespectful people in that crowd that had not a single care for the well-being of innocent people, the people that tossed that guy on top of me when I didn’t see him coming. When I wasnt prepared for that blow…. I hope you feel like absolute sh*t for it. And if you don’t, I hope there’s a special place for ya
I paid for a four day pass like many others and my time was cut extra short because of what you did and have sustained a very serious injury because of it. Also drove 16 hours from southern Louisiana just to be there.
So… I hope you stub your toe on every single corner you find and I hope your next hangnail rips all the way to your knuckles..
To everyone else I hope you all had an amazing time and I’m enjoying seeing all of the things I missed.””
