self-spotting beam belt

Much debated at the USA Gymnastics Congress trade show was a spotting belt over a beam which required no spotter.

It worked as advertised.

The Zero Gravity Chamber is a patented spotting system that enables gymnasts to safely learn and practice advanced beam skills and series without physical assistance from a coach.

But I’ve never like belts, this one in particular. Kids can land skills while doing very much the wrong thing.

It might be FUN to try once or twice. But a training aid?

No way.

anything that takes away fear from doing series I’m all for.
