Stampede

Crushes

Crushes are very often referred to as stampedes but, unlike true stampedes, they can cause many deaths. Crowd density is more important than size. A density of four people per square meter begins to be dangerous, even if the crowd is not very large. Academic experts who study crowd movements and crushing disasters oppose the use of the term "stampede".
