When people get a hit of adrenaline, they get super powers. You have no idea of how strong a teenage girl can get with that adrenaline. An airport tarmac comes to mind.. after a wild, mad chase to the airport, we got out of the limo, when a girl that had been with a group that was chasing us, ran over and grabbed the middle post between the front and rear door–she did this to avoid being pulled away from us..it took 5 big men to pull her hands off that post.
One of these times, as we got to our charter airplane, a large group of fans (mostly girls) that had followed us to the small airport, grabbed Mick prior to climbing up the drop down stairway to the airplane. We kept screaming at Mick to protect himself as we battled thru the fans…It was humorous (Mick kept assuming karate poses–flailing the air and as he wouldn’t hurt a flea as he was trying to intimidate to no avail). Security finally pulled the girls off Mick and he did lose some clothes and hair..
A few times, as we exited slowly from a garage, a fan would jump onto the back of the limo trunk and grab on for dear life..they would basically spread eagle and grab the two sides of the back window and hang on.. the driver would try and drive away before we were ascended upon by the mobs..sometimes they picked up speed to get away and the fan would still be hanging on at 40 miles an hour…by the way, these were female fans…..never had an accident with them but it was scary for many reasons..
