Dying when praying?
I dunno if you all know, but each year muslims (pilgrims) go to Mecca in KSA to do their rituals concerning their prophet's black rock. They go into circles around this rock while praying and shooting stones at it meaning that they are stoning the devil away from this holy rock and away from themselves. Each year there will be some fatalities in Mecca where pilgrims are sometimes suffocated or being WALKED ON or even die because of those thrown rocks which accidentally hit them instead of Muhammed's black rock.
Well this year a huge accident happened where over 350 people are killed and another 300+ wounded. Here is the comment of one Egyptian pilgrim: "I heard screaming and I looked around and saw people jumping over each other. Police came and cordoned off the area. They starting pulling out bodies. The bodies were piled up. I couldn't count them, they were too many". here are the links in details: http://www.cnn.com http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/...ede/index.html

One good reason you will never find me in a large crowd. Some people do not think.

Trip of a life time.
I think they only had 250 killed last year. Getting worse each year.

That is worse than running with the bulls in Mexico.
