A teenager has taken to social media and shared the ‘shocking’ moment she reportedly ‘lost her fingertip’ at Reading Festival.
Summer Gibbs, 16, claimed the accident took place when she went to see Aitch perform and found herself in the middle of a ‘mosh pit’.
On TikTok, she explained: “So me and my friends went to Reading Festival and waited an hour and a half for Aitch and as the time got closer and closer more people started flooding in.

“As Aitch came on stage a huge mosh pit formed and we got caught at the back of the mosh pit.
“As it formed I was slammed into the fence and as I looked down my finger had been clamped in between two of the fences.
“There were so many people trying to get the fence apart and free my finger and because of the adrenaline, I didn’t feel any pain as it was happening.
“I was in and out of consciousness and kept fainting throughout.”
She continued: “Before the guy started recording I had just fainted.
“I didn’t really remember being walked towards the stage.”

So far, Gibb’s clip has accumulated over 520,000 views.
Many people have told the festivalgoer she should try and ‘spam’ Aitch so he hears all about her ‘dedication’.
One TikToker said: “When you lose a finger but it doesn’t matter because it was for Aitch.”
Another added: “Think people should spam @aitch12 so he knows your dedication. Get well soon!”
“I hope it gets better soon,” a third wrote.
At the time of writing, Reading Festival has yet to comment on the incident.
