Large-scale events or global mass gatherings, such as the World Cup, can sometimes lead to stampedes and turn dangerous because of fan violence or poor crowd management. Tragic stampedes have occurred in different contexts, including sports, religious, and entertainment events, as shown in the following table. ( ② ) For instance, a deadly stampede occurred during a Halloween celebration in Seoul’s Itaewon district on October 29, 2022, resulting in at least 150 deaths.

One approach is using Internet of Things (IoT) systems with vibration sensors to track the number of people. ( ④ ) If the sensors detect unusual vibrations, they can warn authorities, allowing them to take action before a stampede happens. Another helpful tool is video monitoring with image analysis, which observes people in real time and detects dangers for quick responses. Wireless technologies like the Global Positioning System (GPS), and mobile applications help event organizers monitor population movements, transmit warnings, and deal with emergencies. Furthermore, ordinary people can wear sensors, like wristbands, to track crowd conditions and detect dangers, helping organizers react quickly. In addition to technology, preparation and practice are indispensable. Regular drills and training for emergency services help them respond quickly in case of an emergency. By combining technology with careful preparation and useful strategies, stampedes may be avoided, and people’s safety at major events can be improved.
