Stage-diving. It's all fun and games until someone's seriously injured, which is exactly what Matthew Graham says happened to him when Akon unleashed his inner Iggy Pop and dove off the stage at the BayFest music festival in Alabama, TMZ reports.

According to a new lawsuit, the crippling stage-dive went down in 2009, when Akon "negligently or wantonly leapt into the overcrowded mass of concertgoers," landing on Graham -- who was part of the BayFest staff -- and causing permanent damage to his knees, back, head, and body.

But Akon isn't the only artist to fail miserably at stage-diving.

From Steve Aoki to members of the Wu-Tang Clan, check out our list of some of the worst stage-diving caught on video.

Someone named Drugs must've thought it'd be a good idea for Mrs. Cobain to stage-dive into a crowd of horny rock fans in a dress. Moral of the story: Don't wear a dress if you're going to take drugs.
