What Could Possibly Go Wrong At A Festival?

Okay, festival-going folks, I need to collect potential incidents for the Sebastian novella. What are the weirdest, most high-stakes, most improbable, most hilarious and/or most dangerous things you’ve seen happen at a festival? What interesting disasters have you seen averted, or had a hand in averting? Please don’t use names or identifying details, because I don’t want to be party to accidentally upsetting, embarrassing, or libeling anyone. I just need some ingredients to zizz together in the Cuisinart of my fictioneering brain so I can make some story pesto. If in doubt, please respond privately.

Honey dipper truck drove off the road and got stuck upon first encounter with nekkid pagan women. That was fun.

There's a great story about "wolf boy" one year at Heartland. Dude was convinced he was a wolf, and was yapping and snapping. Medic/Security guard held a hot dog over dude's head and lead him away from the populated area until he calmed down.

The porta-potty truck story is a classic. So's the one about the workman who came to do emergency roof repairs on a cabin before a rainstorm hit, except that he saw shirtless women and was so distracted he walked right off the edge of the roof.
