244 people got trampled in Mena stoning the Shatan.  It's very crowded there every year.  With the mercy of Allah I performed Haj a year ago and I got beat up.  Rocks were hitting me from every angle and I was getting beat around.  Not everyone has to do this, you can have someone perform the Jemmerah (stoning the symbolic pillars in Mena) for you if it is to dangerous.  But, it's just a sacrifice.  The whole Haj experience is a test.  And to die performing Haj in Mekkah, in a state of purification, would be a righteous way to go.  Those people are burried immediately right in Mekkah!  From Allah we come and to Allah we return.

I hope when I make my Hajj I don't get hit with any rocks... That would be a righteous way to go though, I agree with that.

More than likely it wasn't the rocks that killed those people.  They probably were trampled to death.  Millions of people at different times of the day, struggling to get close enough to throw stones at just three pillars; which symbolically is the stoning of the Shatan; it turns into a royal rumble.

"which symbolically is the stoning of the Shatan"

it would be more accurate to say "shaitan" (pronounced
Shy-tan except the "a" is pronounced closer to an "o" than an "a")
unless u ment to say satan then disregard everything in this post
I know this might me irritating but I'm just doing my part

There's no need for confusion.  It's not an English word.  So when your spelling the word in English there may be different spelling like Mekkah or Mecca.  It's still the same thing.  The "a" in the word "same" is the same "a" to be pronounced in "Shatan".  It was fine how it was.
