The class sounds like fun, I might take it some time! I agree, the accident was not the fault of the retreat center. The class sounds like fun, I might take it some time!

And, I talked extensively with the woman after she came to trapeze class. She said that she had the disposition for this prior to coming to class. That she has this issue is only coincidence to the trapeze class. After flying almost 100,000 people on the trapeze over 25 years I have never heard of or seen this with anyone. So, the article itself is misleading, for it may leave the reader with the idea that trapeze caused this. She had whatever she had. The trapeze and hanging upside down may have exacerbated it, but it's not the cause. Trapeze is a wholesome activity that is empowering and a great workout, that's safer than almost all other major activities that we are accustomed to here in the USA. I do feel for her, and wish her the best in recovery. Best regards, Peter Gold, Director Trapeze-Experience I was there when this happened.

I was with C tonight and found myself just staring at her in wonder and thanks. I love that you thought to write him a thank you card. I’m grateful for Dr. Petroff too.
