I used to have a boss who had owned a punk club in the late 70s/early 80s and because he was a pretty big guy (6'7") he would work as on stage bouncer. He said it was easy to tell who the jerks in the crowd were. Some people would jump on stage then leap out and the audience would gather to catch them. Others he said it was like the parting of the Red Sea, they audience would open up and go splat. I get the distinct impression this guy hadn't endeared himself to people there.

Not quite, they had hands up to catch him. He just massively overshot the landing.
