One of the area we are looking into is falling or better said "The Art Of Falling". Meaning can one learn to "sit down" instead of fall? I think so. As a matter of fact I've done it and believe I can teach it. >> The US Army Airborne School, at Ft. Benning, GA used to take three weeks teaching soldiers how to jump one foot (the remaining 1199 feet took care of itself) and fall down without injury. I understand that they now do it in two weeks. Nevertheless less, perhaps some of their NCO (sergeant) instructors would be willing to help. Any support groups in the Ft Benning area? WHH
