Walking Globe <br />
Instructions and Precautions <br />
This product is intended for adults, or minors with adult supervision by a <br />
parent or circus arts professional. All persons involved are expected <br />
to be aware of the dangers inherent to the use of this <br />
product. Make sure that all of the users of this product read and <br />
understand the instructions listed below <br />
WARNING <br />
A walking globe can be dangerous and, if used improperly or without <br />adequate safety precautions, may result in serious injury. Review the <br />following safety tips and use them. Treat <br />walking globes <br />with the same caution as you would using a unicycle, rola-bola or <br />stilts. <br />
<br />
1. Spotters <br />
<br />
Beginners should always practice with a spotter who is a person to catch <br />you if you should take a fall. This person helps you mount and <br />stand on the globe. A spotter also walks along side of you as you <br />walk on the globe and move across a space. <br />
<br />
2. Soft Surfaces <br />
<br />
When you start to learn the walking globe is should be done on a <br />tumbling mat or thick, padded carpet. Do not attempt learning on a <br />cement, wood, or linoleum floor as these surfaces are too slippery <br />and hard ( if you fall - OUCH!). Soft grass is recommended only if it is a manicured surface which is both even and flat. All areas must be <br />free and clear of all objects which could cause the globe to <br />suddenly stop and precipitate a fall. A soft surface will cause the ball<br /> to roll more slowly. This makes it easier and safer to learn <br />walking globe skills. You can also add weight to the ball to make <br />it roll slower. Pour around 10 pounds of sand in the ball?s vent hole <br />and cover the hole with <br />tape (it may be difficult to remove the sand or other similar <br />material later, however). <br />
<br />
3. Footwear <br />
<br />
One should always have appropriate, nonslip shoes when using a walking<br /> globe. Gym, tennis or basket ball shoes are good. High-<br />top shoes supplying ankle support are the best. Wrist guards used <br />in roller skating, offering wrist support, and crash helmets are <br />highly recommended. <br />
<br />
4. Falls <br />
<br />
The worst type of spill is falling off the globe backwards by kicking it out<br /> in front of you. It often happens by running up to the ball to <br />jump onto it and then loosing your balance. Use caution as this <br />type of mount is dangerous and may result in serious injury. If <br />falling try to land on your feet and let a spotter assist you if necessary. Falls need not be serious if one follows the precautions <br />suggested above. <br />
<br />
5. Don?t be overconfident <br />
<br />
A walking globe may seem like it is a easy prop to master. Beginners may <br />think they have mastered the walking globe when they really have<br /> not. Be sure not to be overconfident when learning the skills<br /> to master the walking globe. Make safety a priority <br />
