   WELCOME. real answer: - wear closed shoes - ear plugs are not weak, they're smart - the pit looks scary but people pick each other up - if you don't want to be in the pit, stay back along the walls — that's the unofficial "safe zone" - hydrate. seriously.

   everything ^^^ said. also: people will check on you. if you want to leave the floor, raise a hand and someone will help you out. that's the rule
