Thats why I like to close my eyes while dancing. Yes you do hit drinks out of peoples hands and find yourself facing a direction you didn't expect but it saves your retinas.

That or I would just go closer or further away from the laser to ensure my eyes were below or above it.

I'm quite sure its illegal to have lasers directed into the crowd. I know there are tight regulations on the operation of laser projectors.

But I don't really think they enforced all that well, I simply suspect altitude just bought it and mounted it as they saw fit, without any thought at all as to these regulations.

Hey dude, good to see you fine self the other night. This is a genuine question: where other than into the crowd would you point a laser in a club envronment? (curious)

Over the top of everyone's head.

I think these regulations apply to lasers over a certain power rating. The one at altitude might have just come in under this, but if it did it wouldn't have been by much.

Major events that use the higher powered lasers certainly have to take this into consideration, as there isn't (or shouldn't be) laser directed into the crowd. (I'll make a note at the next mojor event to see if it ever does)

Ok, cool.

hmmm, the lasers @ pharmacy were pretty damn powerful, and they were certainly hitting the crowd - see footage here:

HOWEVER< those lasers had very diffused/fat beams, hence are not as dangerous to the eye - same with WOTW:
