That ain’t good.
There are trust falls and then there are trust falls.

The legendary band Grateful Dead played at Virginia Tech’s Cassell Coliseum on April 14, 1978, and someone recorded the concert and posted it online (streaming only). I’m not a Dead Head, but I have a few friends who enjoy their music.
