How to Set Up a Trust Fall
Trust fall is a game where a person deliberately falls while other, maybe one or more than one individual are already prepared to hold him. This is a fun activity usually played among a group of friends, that not only involves joy but the element of trust is very important in this. In this activity, a person stands at a particular height, usually above the height of his/her protectors and then falls backwards, while the protectors are ready to hold him/her.
It should be noted here that the element of trust is very crucial in this game because if the protectors or any one among the protectors does not perform his task completely, the person falling backwards can get seriously injured. Therefore, if you are among the protectors, make sure that no naughty thought captivates your mind and you are fully prepared to hold your friend in the hour of need. In contrast, if you are a person who is going to fall back, make sure that your friends are trustworthy enough and they will not ditch you.
If you are certain of both things, then you can stand on an elevated stage confidently and after counting backwards from 5 to 1, you can fall back and allow your friends to hold you. This is a very small activity but the extent of fun is limitless.
