A similar note for aerials:

Girls dies in Jive accident

I did Martin Eaden's ('scuse any misspelling!) non-strength aerials workshop at Southport in May. It was (imho) excellent.

As well as pairing couples off, in order that they can look out for each other, he also had 2 or 3 aerial "police", whose job seemed to be to dive into any situation at all that had any suspicion of even approaching any danger, minor or major!


At the time, it seemed a little molly-coddling and patronising. In retrospect, it was very sensible and wise!

I don't think that I'd do another aerials workshop without at least one or two aerial police present!!
