Controlled chaos, of people slamming, bumping into each other, and generally having a good time. Most mosh pits are NOT about hurting each other. Its simply sharing in an adrenaline rush, and hyperactively expressing some kinetic energy.
There ARE rules and guidelines for being in a mosh pit. Intentionally trying to hurt other people, will in most cases, get you kicked out of the pit at best, or banned from the venue at worse.
There are usually 'safe zones' at the front of the stage, and the back, for people that do not wish to partake in the festivities. Often, a mosh pit will be surrounded by people that guard the safe zones, forming a "wall" around the pit.
