After last week's adventure into trapeze, I found myself itching to go back after work today. So I did. This time, they had me try a whip.
The difference between the whip and last week's trick - affectionately known as the "newbie knee hang" - is that you have to take a flying leap out into space and then present yourself as a flying target to the instructor on the "catch trap" instead of just dangling from the bar until you're caught. It's one thing mentally to dangle by your knees, it's quite another to let go when the instructor says "hup."
There's no time to think. You just spring open and trust that his hands will be there. And if you trust, they're right there for you.
