HOW TO USE THE SAFETY BELT NOTE: Hints on how to assist the performer without a safety belt are given with many of the following stunts or at the ends of the progressions. The safety belt is not particularly needed for the learning of the front somersaults, but some instructors and performers prefer to use it.
Fig. 93. Using Safety Belt on Straight Somersaults. NOTICE in Figure 94 how the far hand reaches in to take up the slack in the rope as the performer turns. You must stay in close to your man. IMPORTANT: The ropes are twisted in the direction opposite to the turn. Fig. 94. Using Safety Belt for Round Off and Twisting Somersaults. |
