Spring upward, bringing the knees close to the chest, at the same time swing the arms vigorously upward, lifting with the shoulder muscles as much as possible. When at the top of your jump, throw your head back, grasp the legs a little below the knee and pull hard (Fig. 210). This should bring your feet under you at a point- high enough to allow you to straighten out and stand erect as you alight (Fig. 211). Your assistants lift as you spring, catch you.
