Bengaluru Stampede: How Do Deaths Occur in a Stampede? Experts Explain Scientific Reasons and Prevention Methods

After the IPL 18 victory parade of Royal Challengers Bangalore at Chinnaswamy Stadium, a stampede occurred due to police action to control the crowd. This tragic event caused the death of 10 people and many injuries. Experts explain that deaths in stampedes often happen due to compressive asphyxia, where intense crowd pressure crushes the chest and blocks airways, causing suffocation.

• People may also suffer injuries from falls, such as broken bones or head trauma, but breathing difficulty due to crowd pressure is the primary cause of death.

• Panic and fear spread rapidly in large crowds, triggering uncontrolled pushing and chaos.

• Immediate first aid, especially CPR, can save many lives if administered quickly.

• Proper crowd management, clear communication, and public awareness are essential to prevent such incidents.
