Name a safety practice for partner work and stunts.

• A. Ignore safety guidelines
• B. Use trained spotters
• C. Perform on a wet surface
• D. Skip warm-ups

Answer: (B)

The main idea is keeping everyone safe during partner work and stunts by having a trained spotter. A spotter is dedicated to watching the flyer and bases, ready to support, catch, or stabilize if something starts to go off balance. When spotters are properly trained, they know the correct hand positions, timing, and signals, can intervene quickly, and help communicate between the team. This reduces the chance of falls, improper catches, or awkward landings, which are common injury risks in stunts.

Other options show unsafe practices. Ignoring safety guidelines creates predictable risks during any stunt; performing on a wet surface increases slipping hazards; skipping warm-ups can lead to muscle strains or joint injuries because the body isn’t properly prepared for sudden movements. Prioritizing trained spotters directly supports safe execution and smoother, more controlled transitions.
