//03Safety notes
01

TAP INSTANTLY at first discomfort - external rotation is catastrophic damage.

02

Ligaments rupture completely before pain signals reach the brain.

03

ONLY practice this by experienced purple+ under expert supervision.

04

Never practice at full speed or with beginners - establish clear tap signals first.

05

Slightest miscommunication or ego results in permanent career-ending disability.
