TWO
PERSON TRUST FALL**:
Every group member needs to find a partner of approximately
equal height and weight.
One partner will designate themselves as the
faller, and one will be the catcher.
Both partners will get the chance to act in
both roles.
The faller’s responsibilities are to stay as
straight as possible, not bend at the waist, keep
their arms across their chest, and communicate with
the catcher.
The catcher’s responsibilities are to get in
a sturdy stance (usually one leg in front of the other
in a lunge position), be aware, keep their hands right
below the faller’s shoulder blades, use the arms as
shock absorbers, not underestimate the force being
generated by the faller, and constantly communicate
with and reassure the faller.
The faller will have his/her back to the catcher.
The commands are performed, and the faller
falls straight back.
After three tries, the partners should switch
roles. NOTE:
Give the group members the opportunity to say “no”
to this exercise.
This and all other trust activities are very
serious activities.
