Could be worse, could be one of the world's most renowned metal bands with a moshing ban.

I may not agree with moshing, but crowd surfers can get entirely fucked.

The venue my (now) wife and I went to all the time when we were kids allowed both, and the only injuries us or our friends ever got was from crowd surfers. My wife alone got kicked in the head at at least 4 different shows. It was so bad that at one point I ended up yeeting a surfer like a shotput 3 or 4 people farther forward to protect her from the 3rd hit of that night.
