Jumping into crowds dangerous
THE EDITOR: I have observed that the practice of artistes, pre-planned jumping into crowds at parties and fetes has resumed. This act is only dangerous when the catchers are not in position. Other party goers whilst jumping up and prancing can easily throw catchers out of position. The bones in the neck are easy to break with consequent damage to the spinal cord ending in paralysis. So, my brothers, not sisters yet, desist from that act of throwing yourselves into the crowds. THOMAS METCAFFE Pt Cumana
