Well, the first thing you do is to step into the
hoop, hold it with both hands and then place
the hoop round your lankleS
Pull it to
one side until it is pressed right up against you
and give it a good push. If the push isn't hard
enough, it won't work. Then you push your
2hipslcalves back and forth as you feel the hoop
against your 3belly button/palm at the front
and your 4shoulders/lower back. It's really good
for building strength in your Swrist/torso but
you also use your 6thumbs/arms, 7shoulders/
heels, Bkneeslchin and 9thighs/belly button. You
need to press your feet down quite firmly and
extend your lOelbow/spine and neck. However,
you shouldn't keep your llchest/limbs rigid, you
need to relax into the rhythm really. As you get
better, you can do more complicated things. For
example, you can lift one 12foot/ torso up whi le
you hula hoop or place two hula hoops round
your 13shins/hips going in different directions.

When an estimated one in sixty participants will die,
why would anyone want to base jump?
The \\-orld record for base jumping was recently broken
again, when asr AI Niyadi and his trainer Omar AI Hegelan
jumped 672 metres from the 160th floor of the world's
tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. They were not the
first ones to attempt this. In 2008, two other men illegally
jumped from the building before it had even been finished.
Having got into the building dressed as engineers, they were
arrested shortly after their jump. This is not unusual for base
jumpers though, who often act without permission.
For those who may not know, base jumping is an
increasingly popular extreme sport which involves jumping
off high buildings, bridges or cliffs with a parachute. It
is unbelievably dangerous. While a sky diver may have
up to three minutes to open his or her parachute, a base
jumper has only seconds. There is also the risk of hitting
the building or cliff on the way down. Since its invention
in 1981 there have been at least 147 fatalities related to
the sport. Even fans of the sport estimate that one in sixty
participants will die. Brave, or simply foolhardy?
I find it hard to understand the popularity of such
hazardous sports. Many psychologists believe that it is
all a question of individual personality. Men are more
likely to enjoy thrill seeking than women, and our desire
to experience these sensations is highest in the late teens
and early twenties. But some people are naturally drawn to
enjoy thrills and danger, while others are not. Both types
are important in any society, as low-sensation seekers will
happily carry out relatively un exciting jobs, while high-
sensation seekers will work very well as fire fighters or on
the stock market.
