A young woman named Bird Piche recently underwent extensive surgery after a tragic accident at a punk rock concert in New York. The 24-year-old fan was left partially paralyzed after the lead singer of Trophy Eyes, John Floreani, crowd-surfed into the mosh pit and landed on her, resulting in a catastrophic spinal cord injury.
The incident, which was captured on video and shared with news outlets, immediately halted the band's performance. Floreani accompanied Piche to the hospital, where she was joined by her family. In a statement released by the band on social media, they expressed their heartbreak and asked for patience as they support Piche during this difficult time.
It was later revealed that the venue, Buffalo's Mohawk Place, has a strict policy against stage-diving and moshing. A GoFundMe page was set up to help with Piche's recovery and rehabilitation costs, with the band donating $5,000. According to a family friend, Piche's neck was broken during the incident, but she has since regained feeling in her fingers.
Witnesses of the accident shared their accounts on social media, with one Reddit user saying they saw it happen just two minutes into the first song. They left the concert immediately upon seeing Piche's condition and were hoping for the best possible outcome for her.
Another concert-goer who was standing next to Piche at the time of the accident also shared their experience on Reddit, saying that as soon as they heard her say she couldn't move, they knew it was serious. They also mentioned that Floreani seemed devastated by what had happened.
The manager of Buffalo's Mohawk Place, Mike Thor, released a statement saying that the venue has a very strict policy against stage-diving and crowd-surfing, with signs posted throughout and notices included in emails for the show. He also mentioned that their policy is to immediately stop the show if stage-diving occurs, but unfortunately, it was too late to prevent this tragic incident.
Trophy Eyes addressed the accident in a statement on social media, saying that they were truly heartbroken and would remain in close contact with Piche and her family. They also mentioned that a charity show is in the works to help raise funds for her medical expenses.
The GoFundMe page was set up by a family friend who stated that Piche has a long road to recovery ahead and will need to go to a rehab facility after leaving the hospital. The funds raised will go towards her medical bills and any other expenses she may have due to the accident.
