Event coordinators assume liability if an event turns into a chaotic episode for whatever reason. For example, a fight breaks out at a nightclub, someone pulls out a gun and starts shooting. An innocent bystander falls as a result of the commotion and gets trampled on and killed instantly. If there is inadequate crowd management, more than likely the club will be fined or shut down.
