Ok, here goes. I honestly don't go to clubs like Guv anymore, because it's hard to find a spot where you can cut loose without being afraid of doing a face plant. I'd rather go to El'Mocambo where people respect the floor.
When I did frequent places like the Zone and Guv which have always ranked as the most dangerous places to go crazy I've either staked out my claim to a dry spot and stayed there, or I've held back from going full out because I know it increases the risk of injury. I approach dancing like I do sports. I won't play ball on a slippery court, so I don't dance on one either.
My girl slipped while just walking on a spot in the Guv 5-6 months ago...it was rammed, and she was being surged forward when her foot gave away in one of these wetspots. She sprained her wrist and quite frankly that was probably because she was lucky. I've seen a guy go tits up and almost smash his nut on the floor. He might have been high, or drunk, but how does that excuse people from knowingly contributing to a dangerous situation.
I ask you this -- can you imagine any other situation where you'd pour water on the floor, and not cordon the area off, or put up a sign warning people. No, you wouldn't. People in a club are often not alert to the dangers around them. The last thing they expect is a slippery surface, what with people pressed up against them, the heat, the music, the whistles (!). I just feel it makes common sense not to add to all those things. But then, that's just me. People are going to do what they want...whether it's blare on those whistles, or go wild with their air horns, or spill water to help them dance.
Seeing as this is a thread where people were ranting about what they hate, I figured I'd do so as well. Perhaps it's my own ego, but I feel some things you can overlook, others -- well, lets just say you realize how silly they are when someone you know or love gets hurt.
