- Scan the crowd.
Determine the focus of the rioting and physically distance yourself as quickly as possible. - Create a protection helmet.
Stuff crumpled-up newspaper or cardboard inside your hat for cushioning. If you do not have a hat, place an empty popcorn tub or other container over your head. - Move away from the mascots.
Regardless of whether they are the focus of the riot, both teams' mascots are especially vulnerable to attack. - Watch for projectiles.
Bend your knees and keep your head low to avoid flying cans, bottles, pennants, water balloons, rocks, pipes, benches, people, or other objects. - Move sideways through the crowd to the nearest exit.
Avoid moving forward (toward the center of the riot) or backward (against the surging mob).
