Dwarf tossing
This is not my story but I'll try my best to tell it as it was first related to me.

My mate was at Download one year happily headbanging away during a Slipknot set with a few of his mates. Looking around he sees this tiny figure in an adjacent moshpit throwing his weight around with some hardcore metalheads. On closer inspection it turns out to be a dwarf. A tiny, well-built, adrenalin-fuelled dwarf charging into any of the huge meatheads (I mean meatheads) that came too close to him. It was obvious that this is what he lived for as my mate describes him as being 'ripped-to-shit' and with a possessed gleam in his eyes.

Now this sight would be funny enough but for what was to come. Slipknot apparently have a habit of getting everyone to sit down for the start of one of their songs. So today was no exception and on command everybody sat down ready to jump back up at the relavent point. My mate and his mates all sit down and just infront of him the dwarf also takes a seat. As soon as the tiny man's arse touched the floor those surrounding him began to bunch up around him and started grabbing on to him. He was apparently looking around in a state of confusion and yet approval as the music crescendoed, the mass of people surrounding him began to bounce slightly and when the beat finally dropped everyone jumped to their feet and this poor guy hurtled cartwheeling high into the air. My mate tells me that he never saw where he landed and didn't spot him for the rest of the festival.

Length? Not sure, but I'll bet it's surprising.
