new sport alternative to ball games. get whole body fit.
like guys gymnastics.
survival rating in falls or when chased by say gangs, muggers, peados, rapists, or killers would be far higher.
plus get respect without drugs, or violence and you get kids not normally into sports up for it especailly with the music element
Answer
Sorry mate, never going to happen. the health and safety implications would be impossible to address fully and then you have to consider where it could be taught: schools would not let their pupils jump off school buildings, if one fell they wold be sued for a tremendous amount of money. they would have to build a purpose built areas, costing thousands.
its a nice
idea but not feasible, it would not be hard for the community to complain of anti social behaviour if a gang of children
starting climbing on buildings and jumping off again, especially if it were part of the curriculum.
