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.

The gentlemanly and friendly attitude that exists within the violence of the mosh pits.
Whether you are in a fast paced circle pit, or a wall of death, or in the regular pits, you can be as violent and crazy as you like, but if you see somebody fall over (especially if it is a smaller guy or a lady), you do not hesitate to get them back on their feet.
This courtesy also applies in open pits when there is one on one moshing, and, even if you beat the crap out of the other guy, at the end of the song and the mosh breaks up, you give the guy you've just been pulverising a hug, and tell them well played.
its moshpit courtesy :)

noun. informal. When members of the audience at a rock concert or other upbeat music event sit cross legged in front of the stage or pit area. It is customary for members of a Canadian Mosh Pit to rest their elbows on their thighs in order to support the chin with hands in loose fists and knuckles facing together. Though a slight side to side head bob can often be observed a Canadian Mosh Pit is characterized by very little movement and no dancing.
Clancy: Dude this jam is sick , let's move off the lawn and rage by the rail.

When the people standing in the pews are swaying to the music so much that they repeatedly bump the person next to them. Generally it's the hips that make the contact. pew church mosh pit
The people who were standing in the pews were feeling the music so much that they closed their eyes, and started swaying to the music. They forgot that when they do this, their hips bump against that of the people's next to them.
It had turned into a Christian Mosh Pit.
