Trust fall

A trust fall is a team-building exercise in which a person deliberately falls, trusting the members of a group (spotters) to catch them.[1]

This article is about the trust-building game. For the Incubus EP, see Trust Fall (Side A).

There are many variants of the trust fall. In one type, the group stands in a circle, with one person in the middle with arms folded against his chest and falls in various directions, being pushed by the group back to a standing position before falling again. In another variant, a person stands on an elevated position (such as a stage, stepping stool or tree stump) and relies on multiple people to catch them. This variant is potentially more dangerous and often leads to injuries.[2]

Furthermore, while the fall may establish trust in the exercise, "there is little evidence that this trust spills over into day-to-day life".[3]
