A Human Pyramid Crashes Down: Video!

cslewis · 07:27 PM

Our high school gym classes are working on 'cooperative activites'. This means that in addition to 'trust falls', we're conducting human pyramids. Because of my recent surgery, i'm not allowed to play along. I just happened to have my camera with me, so...

somehow I dont see that as physical edumacation.

At my school I think that is considered cheerleading, not P.E.

OMG
that looked fun
i had to do that FIRST PERIOD
not to mention that i was sore from soccer
i was on the bottom
then the 2nd then the third

And i agree, these 'coroperative games' isnt much PE
very dangerous
in trust falls
the one girl literally sat down on us
instead of falling
she punched a couple of people in the face while flailing-sitting down

But overall, these 'games' weren't that bad
but now, THEY ARE DONE
NO MORE!!!!!!
w00t

I don't exactly consider cooperative games to be safe enough for a school's PE class, not to mention it's not PE to begin with.

No doubt the blame should go to the moron in the mis-matched socks!
great video!

Actually, if you look closely, they both have mismatched socks. One brings two hot pinks to school, one two lime green, and they each get one of each color.

yeah, she is obviously a lot heavier than she thinks she is.

What grade are you in? That would be a nice break from our PE. In my PE class we've been running and in the weight room for the last month.

Phat_Pat · Mar 7, 2006, 10:35 PM

judging by the camera shake at the end you were laughing your ass off

as i would be too if i saw my friends do that

bobscliff · Mar 7, 2006, 10:45 PM

Hehe. It's a guilty pleasure watching that over and over.

you can't tell me that you didn't expect it. the trust fall is so freaky.. at my school team building we also did the ropes courses, but none of this stuff.

Mhh, I'm a still a little freshman.

Our gym classes are pretty cool. We had about 3 weeks of the weight room, 3 weeks of tai bo/intensive aerobics, 2 months of football, 2 weeks of soccer, etc.

The trust-building activities also included the 'fit-9-people-on-a-1-foot-cube' game. That was fun.

why didn't the teacher put more mats down...
I miss my gym class, each semester/quatar we choose what we did...senior year i choose weight training for all 4 semesters. It was me standing on an elliptical machine listening to my iPod

That would have been more entertaining and a nicer break for me than some sort of basketball game that everyone knew how to play except for me. And the first time I manage to get a basket was when I went out of turn.
