What is the likelihood of someone getting lost at a live event?

The likelihood of someone getting lost at a live event can vary depending on several factors such as the size and complexity of the event layout, the familiarity of the attendees with the venue, and the clarity of the signage and directions provided by the event organisers. However, it’s not uncommon for some attendees to get lost or disoriented at large events with multiple locations and activities. A survey conducted by Eventbrite in 2017 found that 60% of event attendees reported getting lost at an event at some point. However, with the help of modern technology and innovative event solutions like Gyder with its event map and wayfinding app, the likelihood of getting lost can be significantly reduced.

What are the most common injuries at a live event?

The most common injuries at a live event can vary depending on the type of event and its activities. However, some of the most common injuries that can occur at live events include slips, trips, and falls, cuts and bruises, heat exhaustion and dehydration, and injuries caused by crowds such as crushing or trampling. Other possible injuries could be related to the use of equipment or facilities, such as injuries from rides or attractions, or accidents at food stalls or other vendors.

To prevent injuries at a live event, event organisers should conduct a thorough risk assessment, ensure that the venue is safe and well-maintained, provide adequate staffing and security, and ensure that visitors are aware of any potential hazards. Additionally, promoting proper hydration and providing access to first aid facilities can help prevent injuries related to heat exhaustion or dehydration.

Finding medical assistance at a show is one of the golden rules for organisers.  Events which feature the Gyder app will be able to assist visitors in finding medical facilities as quickly as possible.
