This is not mentioned enough in the media and should be known that Travis had no control over stopping the show. Everyone is so quick to blame him, but he had no authority of stopping it.

identifies the role of the executive producer as well as the festival director as the only people with the authority to stop the concert.
Many people would think that Travis can stop the concert, but according to this plan, the producers and festival directors are the only ones that have control of stopping the concert. This is a point that the media isn't discussing much about.
-
A 56-page operations plan for the concert was obtained by CNN this week, showing a clear chain of command in case of an incident.

"on a riser at one point and he sees one boy down... stops the show, [and] he asked security to get to that person,"
The media does not hear a lot about this instance because it is so overshadowed by the deaths and other injuries that happened that night. This also proves that he did see someone hurt in the crowd, so how didn't he see the other people who were dead and injured.

Ambulances transported a handful of injured concertgoers to the hospital that morning and afternoon.

At least eight more breaches would be reported throughout the day, with 3,000 to 5,000 concertgoers that were "not scanned" entering the venue by 5:05 p.m
This clearly shows just how bad the security was from the beginning. The security didn't do anything about the 8 breaches beforehand, which now makes sense how they wouldn't be able to tame a crowd as wild as it was that night.
