I would have to say catching. Most of the falling activities involved more than one person so it was easy for me to trust two or more people catching me. That's why for me the beginning trust falls were the scariest because only one person was catching you. Being one of the catchers was the scariest for me. If you accidentally drop someone, it's your fault and that person may never trust you or anyone again. I didn't like having that pressure on me.
I think catching people was the hardest part. I really didn't want to drop anyone. In my case, it was easier to fall, because I'm not afraid of heights. I'm sure people who are afraid of heights had a hard time doing it. Eventually there will be something I don't want to do, I just haven't found it yet.
Most definitely it was the catching. I'm kind of short and weak and by no means am really capable of catching anyone. When we were doing these trust exercises, I was just so worried I would drop someone. I'm also scared of heights, so standing up on the blocks wasn't the greatest thing, but definitely catching was the hardest.
Me being Me i would deffently have to say falling perfectly straight, not that i am scared or don't trust anyone, just it's weird falling straight like that.
catching was pretty simple, and a lil mindless but all and all it was fun
i'm really glad our class is finally coming out to be a real class, no more back steps only steps forward to bettering 6th period !!
I think catching was hardest. I'm really not afraid of heights at all, and I'm pretty trusting, so falling for me wasn't a problem. Catching however was hard simply because I'm not too strong, so I was afraid to drop someone. Dropping someone may mean they wouldn't trust the class as much anymore, or fear would consume them next time we do an activity. In the end I think things worked really well.
I'd say it was falling. It just seemed that straight up falling without trying to keep balance really freaked me out. I kept thinking that my group wouldn't catch me, but they definenetly did, and I'm glad about that. When i was the one doing that cathcing, i had no doubt in my mind that i would be able to do it, but it was so different being the one up there.
falling was easy is was really fun actually but trusting the people catching u was kinda hard. catching was easy too. im really excited to climb =] -sugar mama
Well falling was hard but catching would be the hardest. It was hard becuase im not that strong and i didn't want to have somebody fall. I also didn't want to hurt anyone. I liked this activity.
def catching. i have weak girl arms and i was afraid that i would drop someone which would lead to their mistrust of the class. but in all the groups that i worked with, we didn't drop anyone, so that was pretty pro. i didn't think falling was as hard as i thought it was going to be. i loved the rush and i can't wait until we start belaying!
Surprisingly i liked falling better. I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. Although I was more comfortable with my first group because by a weird chance I was with most of my friends, and I really trust them. Although my second group was extremely supportive and I loved their company and their support very much! Thanks group! <3<3 I'm just going to keep trying and trusting the people I'm placed with.
I thought this was good for us students, because it really helps us to trust other people. I had fun catchhing people and falling. I was a little nervous when i started to fall of the blocks though. But i enjoyed it and i trust everyone in the class. i hope we can do more.
durring the trust falls i would say that the falling was probably the hardest for me. even thought it did not look like i was haveing a harder time i would say that i was. most of the time i was only with one other guy in the group so i did not feel that the girls would be able to catch me. im not saying anything against the girls or anything but with my actual weight and the force of my weight falling i did not feel that they could catch me. I WAS PROVED WRONG i was proved wrong time and again. so to sum it all up i would have to say that i was not trusting the catchers but at the same time i was! i know that is contradicting but it is what i was feeling! but overall the trust falls were fun.
catching cause like im really skinny and have NO strength what so ever .. so like everyone else in my group caught all the falling people cause im NO help at all so it is scary when they put me at the middle like torwards there head cause i couldnt catch them .. oops haha
i think catching is a lot harder just because there's a lot of pressure on you to not drop anyone because they're trusting you so much. falling was pretty easy, even if it was a little weird to fall that straight...
Idk trust falls don't really bother me...they never really have bothered me. It was kind of cool to help the ones less confident be more confident. I'm one of those people who loves a challenge and I guess that's why I liked helping others...I think that's also why I liked catching because I don't know how strong I am and I wasn't sure if I would be able to catch people. all in all though it was fun.
Catching was hard for me at first because for some reason I put myself in a spot where I had to catch the person's shoulders, which was heavy! But then I moved myself to catching the feet and legs which was much easier. Staying stiff isn't that hard for me. I think that a big factor that helps me with that is how cold it is in the gymnastics room!
I think catching was the more challenging part because I don't want to drop anyone. Catching involves everyone to put in their part because of one person decides not to do their part, the person falling can just fall on the ground. However, I think falling was also challenging because it is hard to stay straight when there is a chance you could fall.
I think that catching was the hard part for me because I knew that I was responsible for whether or not the person was going to fall. I was also concerned about the person falling sideways. I didn't want them to fall ontop of me where I wouldn't be able to hold them up. Everyone did great, though, and I thought the activity was a good step forward!
falling was pretty fun but looking down at the people who were going to catch you was scary. i had to work really hard to keep my body perfectly straight. i did it better the first time.
i would say catching because i was really worried about the possible chance of dropping the person. the faller really depended on us catching them so that they wouldn't get hurt. it had some pressure on it.
I have been teaching since 1995. I started teaching at Winston Campus Junior High in Palatine. In 2001 I began teaching at Fremd. I am an assistant golf and wrestling coach. I have also coached boys gymnastics and I was a sponsor for Powder Puff Football and Outdoor Adventure Club. I am the 4th child of 5, 3 older sisters and 1 younger brother. I am married and I have two great boys 2 1/2 year old and a 5 week old. Chase and Brody. I love it when I come home and chase yells out "DADDY" and has a big smile on his face and is coming to hug me.

falling was easy because you just fall... catching was sometimes worse because u didnt want to drop anyone.

It was harder for me to fall because it was hard to lock my knees and keep my back straight. I guess it was harder for me to trust people to catch me.

Falling was harder than you thought it was going to be. I couldn't keep my body straight. Catching was hard too but easier than the falling part.
falling was really fun and i would definitely do it again. catching was a little worse cause i didn't want to drop anyone.

the hardest thing for me was letting myself fall and counting on everyone else to catch me. it was a good activity it was just hard at first.
Pretty entertaining watching people fall and all. Falling from heights is not such a big deal for me but I see how it can create a problem for some.
