This was rejected 3 years ago (as 群衆雪崩) due to not being in any refs, but now it's in the latest versions of daijisen and gg5.

I think the accepted name for this phenomenon is just "crowd collapse." When someone falls in a very dense crowd, the pressure of the crowd causes more people to fall into the void created by people falling, and so on.
