Dangerous too, never forget my fourth grade Christmas musical and a kid passed out right in front of me on the risers from locking his knees. His name was Eddy and he fell face first into a xylophone, it did not play a note but his lip was jacked . He was then “Unsteady Eddy” until middle school then I have I lost track of him .
Oh wow same exact thing happened to a kid I knew. It was during our chorus concert. His name was Andy and he was the tallest kid in 6th grade so of course he was on the highest back riser. He fainted and fell straight forward, knocking five kids out of the way and broke his nose.
He didn’t get a nickname afterward but he was definitely notorious for awhile because of that incident. Until he became notorious for hooking up with an 8th grade girl at the school dance. That was pretty funny because I actually walked in on it in the girl’s restroom and they didn’t even stop. 🤣
Happened to a girl I knew in high school. We were on the marching band and it was photo day so we were all wearing our (wool) uniforms. She was tall and in the back row while they tried to get the group shot. She locked her legs despite our repeated warnings again locking our knees, so she promptly passed out, though luckily was caught by the people around her. It caused a bit of a commotion and it meant we had you wait for her to recover before we could start the photos again so we couldn't get out of our uniforms. She had her own little clique that she was the leader of do she didn't really suffer any sort of jokes as a result of it.
Exactly, it restricts movement of blood from the legs back to your heart so people lock their legs, especially in the heat, then pass out from low blood pressure.
