I was at a
performance of some sort. One act
had just finished and we were waiting for the next to begin. A young black girl appeared on the
stage. On older black man appeared
on the stage. He had gold teeth
and a black curly beard. I
immediately thought that he seemed skechy. The girl was at one side of the stage, and the man at the
other. She ran towards him and he
lowered his hands for her to step into.
He launched her into the air.
Immediately I was aware that something was wrong. She was supposed to go straight up but
she was going backwards. I heard
people around me screaming. She
landed with her back hitting the corner of the stage. I looked away and wanted to run away but knew I had to help
since I had medical training. I
shouted for someone to call 911. I
knew that wasn’t what I had learned.
I acknowledged individuals and had them dial 911. I ran to the girl. She was on the floor below the stage
with her face away from me. I
knelt beside her and touched her arm.
She turned to look at me.
“You’re going to be ok,” I said.
She had minimal reaction.
She started to roll over. I
tried to tell her not to because I was concerned about her spine. She continued to roll, people might
have been assisting her in rolling.
I tried again to get her to stop.
