I was never a great believer in angels etc... i did competitive trampolining for years and i had just completed my grade3. When learning the Grade 2 routine it had many hard moves such as a double back somersault. I had practiced this move with a support harness. The next time i got up on the trampoline i said to my coach that i was ready to perform the whole move by myself with no assistance. He said only if i was 100% sure i could do this move safely, i agreed and carried on. As i started to bounce i got higher and higher ready to perform the move, then at the top of the bounce before the move i felt a sensation on my shoulder which felt like a cold hand. I immediatly stopped bouncing and asked to go back in the harmness, when i performed the move again it went wrong and if not for the harmness i would have probably broken my neck.

I do not know if this was and angel or something else trying to warn me i was not ready for the move, but what ever it was it saved me of making a horrible mistake.
