You get to the event ahead of time, carefully pick the trees and set up the net in a way that you are certain has enough safety factor to hold your 5 people safely. The crowds show up and despite your best efforts, half way through the event, several uninvited students think your setup is cool and climb aboard. A short time later a few more climb up and the situation gets completely out of hand. The next day, the local papers report on the number of injured students caused by the whole thing collapsing onto the crowd below (or maybe just the few that fell off).
