Extreme Trust Fall

[KerrDogga]

note too self: never trust kids

[adkhikertom]

@KerrDogga Well, we wouldn't have children in one of these classes. That goes without saying.

[FrogsterTheMONSTER]

Is this at camp galilee?

[thatbastardson]

you can trust your group, but don't you dare trust anyone outside of your group.

[adkhikertom]

@thatbastardson This workshop is to help those with trust issues. We get paid to help people learn to trust again. Don't be afraid to contact us for anything.

[treyshooter94]

the leaves didnt give it away when they were coming back or anything..

[adkhikertom]

@treyshooter94 And she trusted them enough that they would all be back and ready when she counted down. Trust is something taught from an early age, but can be relearned through a good workshop.

[ImprettysureImright]

What the fuck was the point of everyone running away?

[adkhikertom]

@ImprettysureImright To show their level of trust. They could have decided not to come back, but they did, and they were ready to catch her. That's real trust and team building.

[Bl0oDBliz69]

1:23

[kindraaatm22]

wut was the point of the counting?

[adkhikertom]

@kindraaatm22 To give the people a time limit of when to come back to catch the faller, of course.

[SAvAgeGaMeR320]

y did they wlk away....im confused



[adkhikertom]

@SAvAgeGaMeR320 To build trust. If they never came back when she fell, there would be no trust, but they did. That's where the trust, and team, is built.

[kimbre22]

Hard landing but at least it was safe with there being like 12 people catching her....

[adkhikertom]

@kimbre22 Exactly. That's the kind of sportsmanship I expect in my programs. Working together to build trust in any working team and environment.

[kimbre22]

They must be strong or she is light because they barely even flinched when she fell.....

[adkhikertom]

@kimbre22 When you build a solid human bridge as we did, we're able to catch just about anyone.

[MichaelOfPop]

Oh gosh. I don't know if I could do that.

[adkhikertom]

@MichaelOfPop Come to my workshop. I'm sure you'd benefit and teach yourself that you're a very capable person. :-)

[HighRopesBunny]

JIM GROUT! You and Nicki are awesome- best adventure trainers ever. Just today I used this trust fall variation with a college group and it was very meaningful to them. THANK YOU for your great work! High 5 rules!

[SuperbSwine]

i would do this but my 220lb frame would break arms =p

[adkhikertom]

@SuperbSwine We've caught people over 300 lbs. Please don't down yourself. This workshop is for everyone, regardless of shape or size.

[stuffandlyrics]

it looked staged.... she woulve heard em moving all at once

[adkhikertom]

@stuffandlyrics She did, yet she still didn't turn around. That's there the trust lies.

[Wowplayer43]

thats pretty intense

basically the bitch falls after a minute and they catch her

they give them 15 seconds to get away and come back

YEP PRETTY INTENSE

[adkhikertom]

@Wowplayer43 Very intense. And nobody is a B at my program, so refrain from foul language on my page, it would be appreciated.

[schristofalo]

...I don't get it

[adkhikertom]

@schristofalo If they never came back, there would be no trust. What's not to get?

[adkhikertom]

@schristofalo I'm sorry, but I don't understand what's not to get.

[RastafariPoet]

What the hell did I just run into?

[adkhikertom]

@RastafariPoet An extreme trust FALL. You clicked on it. No fail here.

[harshLesson]

wow so many sober, non vampire people in the woods. havent seen that on video in a while.

[adkhikertom]

@harshLesson Well, we're real outdoorsy people who are in the sun all day, and we work hard and have good jobs. That would be the exact opposite of which you speak.

[implode44]

they can either stay or go, but they have to go back

[adkhikertom]

@implode44 Precisely. 

[musicandskateboards4]

EXTREME!!!!!

[breakingfame]

is this at camp neosa?

[OzmoPsalm]

that was stuped i thot she was gonna fall

[adkhikertom]

@OzmoPsalm No, she wasn't. That's why it's called a TRUST fall. The person falling has to trust their team with their life, and they do, and it works. It's a teambuilding activity.

[sk8terbabii229]

I had to do this I girl scout camp when I was like 7 but the platform was higher up, no one ever caught me hence y I have a metal plate in my head, my mom never trusted me when I told her girl scout camp was like boot camp, they made us do insane shit

[adkhikertom]

@sk8terbabii229 I'm very sorry to hear that. Sounds like you need to earn that trust back. Small children shouldn't do an activity like this anyways.

[james79310]

@sk8terbabii229 R U joking?

[Eganthevile1]

she peeked, wheres the trust?

[adkhikertom]

@Eganthevile1 Everyone has a level of apprehension, some more than others. If you trust the team you're working with enough, you don't feel the need to look. That's why this is a team building workshop, to help coworkers trust eachother, in and out of the work field.

[baseballswaz8888]

@Eganthevile1 thats the point. when she counts back down to 1, she trusts they will have come back to catch her.

[sasrutolee]

why do they run away if ther gunna come back..

[adkhikertom]

@sasrutolee It's a team building, trust falling "game". If the person trusts the team enough, they will close their eyes and let themselves go, fully believing that even though their fellow team members are walking away, they will be back in time to catch them before the 10 seconds is up.

[Aphasia17]

@adkhikertom team building? i play halo for team building, not trust my life in the woods with some strangers falling off a platform... thats nuts

[adkhikertom]

@Aphasia17 Well, no offense, but it sounds to me like you need some fresh air and more trust with the people in your life

[brandon714]

How the hell is this a fail?

[adkhikertom]

@brandon714 Not a fail, a trust fall. The person falling trusts you enough, knowing that even when you walk away, you will be there in time to catch them, well ahead of time. Completely safe, teaching you to trust your team and fellow workers.

[zmalik10]

@brandon714 where does it say its a fail?

[adkhikertom]

@brandon714 It isn't a fail, and if you came to my video just to watch someone fall and get hurt, then you're sadistic and need psychological evaluation. I'm sorry, but my workshops are about TRUST and for anyone interested in team and leadership building, not for little kids to make snarky comments on.

[UntastyTwix]

that was preety cool

[adkhikertom]

@UntastyTwix Thank you. This is part of what my program is all about.

[dhad1976]

The last time I did the Trust Fall, I was 14, landed on the ground on my Stomach because they didn't catch me. I can't remember the last time I had such a physical pain that I had Tears coming out of my eyes....

[adkhikertom]

@dhad1976 Sounds like you need to relearn that trust. I'm so sorry that happened to you. It's hard to gain that trust back.

[DeathKidVids]

O_O

[adkhikertom]

@DeathKidVids Pretty extreme, huh?

[Jeetard]

wow i would never be able to do that.

[adkhikertom]

@Jeetard Believe in yourself. I'm sure you could with the right team of people.

[JVinci16]

ur arms were held wrong. you need to grasp one another

[adkhikertom]

@JVinci16 If they were held wrong, she would have fell. We know what we're doing, I've only been in team building for most of my life.

[jordanleighgriffin]

Wow... I don't know if I could do that.

[soyfilib]

What is the point of this?

[adkhikertom]

@soyfilib Team and trust building. 

[LillyTeal]

omg, what if she missed?

[adkhikertom]

@LillyTeal She knew where to fall, they were dependable and they caught her. No risk when you have a dependable team behind you, literally and metaphorically.

[k3nnyinab0x]

EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O_O

[adkhikertom]

@k3nnyinab0x I know. Any questions, don't hesitate to email us for more information.

[MxGGrimlock]

nice

[adkhikertom]

@MxGGrimlock I agree. An admirable display of teamwork.

[pinkpiggy2419]

i would be scared to do that
