“Human waking”, also called “trust fall”, is a technique in which a child is placed on a base made by several people to stand up or fall behind.
About this technique, Professor Emeritus Yutaka Nishiyama of Osaka University of Economics analyzed the data of the Japan Sports Promotion Center, which compiled the accidents at the school. In the three years until last year, there were 145 accidents at schools throughout the country. I found out.
By prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture has the largest number, with 30 cases, followed by Osaka Prefecture, 13 cases in Saitama Prefecture, and 12 cases in Aichi Prefecture. About 60% of the total is injured by the child who rides on it, and cases where it seems that the brain has fallen from the head to the ground, such as brain contusion and head bruise, are conspicuous.
As for gymnastic exercises, since the accidents were caused by a series of techniques called pyramids and towers, the Sports Agency issued a notice three years ago and asks the education site not to do it if safety cannot be ensured.
“Severe injuries should be avoided”
Professor Nishiyama said that instead of pyramids and towers, there are an increasing number of schools that have good-looking “human wake-ups,” “Acrobatic skills are very dangerous. May lead to serious injuries. So we should refrain from implementing it. "
