[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] A young woman has been left with a “catastrophic” injury after a stage diving incident at a New York concert went horribly wrong.

Late last month, New Yorkers gathered at the Mohawk Place live music venue in Buffalo to see Australian punk-rock band Trophy Eyes perform.

For Bird Piché, the night should have been unforgettable one, as the band is one of her favorites. But it ended up being unforgettable for a completely different and tragic reason.

And shockingly, Bird took the brunt of John’s landing. Family friend Leo Wolter Tejera told WGRZ, “there must just not have been enough people around there to catch him, or they weren’t aware that he was going to jump.” He added: The Reddit user who captured the footage recalled in their upload: Apparently, John landed directly on Bird’s head causing her to collapse.
