Shaq’s love for moshpits

O’Neal previously said that he wanted to set the Guinness World Record for the biggest moshpit ever at Lost Lands.

But to confirm if the Miami Heat champion broke the record, the answer is still not available. Because, according to Guinness World Records, it is hard to define where the circle extends in a moshpit that occurs in a music event.

But that doesn’t stop Shaq from doing what he loves. He has been spotted in the moshpit himself during music festivals. The 7’1 giant has crowd-surfed and has also ended up having a mouthbleed following it. And he has also staged dived, thankfully, without injuring any fans. Do you hope to attend Shaq’s festival next year? Let us know in the comments.
