Insane Clown Posse Show Was Too Crazy, Fan Says

(CN) - A fan of the Insane Clown Posse sued the hip-hop group and the organizers of a southern Illinois music festival in Federal Court for personal injury.

James Ford, a Delaware resident, says he was among dozens of fans invited onto stage during the Aug. 15, 2010, concert, dubbed as the "Gathering of the Juggalos" at Cave in Rock, Ill. Ford claims he suffered severe and permanent leg injuries after he fell into a modified trampoline on stage.

Ford seeks damages for his injuries in the Southern District of Illinois. He is represented by Jeffrey Deutschman of Deutschman & Associates in Chicago.

Psychopathic Records, Insane Clown Posse, Juggalo Gathering, Faygo Beverages and Hogrock Inc. are named as defendants. Faygo allegedly sponsored the event that brought Ford to stage.
