During a music festival, which effect results when bottlenecks restrict crowd flow near stage exits?

💡 Explanation

Progressive crowd pressure amplification occurs because the bottleneck restricts outflow, leading to the ratcheting effect. Because crowd density increases, this raises pressure locally, therefore increasing the risk of crowd crush, rather than uniform dispersal or reduced risk.
