Supplementing this type of group tumbling, a wealth of pyramid work can be used successfully for exhibitions and demonstrations. Some group or squad might be asked to give a short demonstration each week during part of a class period. This would be an outlet for individual expression and a stimulus to do creative work with the stunts thus far mastered. B. SAFETY TECHNIQUES Safety techniques may be divided into two divisions: first, the knowledge and teaching techniques involved in preparation for teaching a stunt; and second, the active protective techniques during the performance of the stunt. The preparatory techniques are the more important. The problem is analogous to that of health education, where prevention should always take precedence over cures. Many hazards are eliminated entirely if the proper progressions and knowledge of fundamentals are used. |
