Due to the rain that fell at Rock in Rio this Sunday (6), some people went to the festival's medical station due to falls and sprains. Since last Friday (3), people have also been admitted to the facility with injuries caused by playing in the rain, in addition to problems related to alcohol and medication consumption.
Participants in the so-called "punk circle pits" usually arrive at medical care with facial injuries or complaining of falls. The article also mentions rain ponchos being sold for R$40, showing that many chose to maintain their style even in the rain.
Anxiety and panic attacks have also been reported by patients arriving at the facility. Many come from areas of large crowds, with symptoms such as palpitations, sweating and dizziness. Consultations with psychiatric patients who mix alcohol, medication and other psychoactive substances have also been frequent at the festival.
