Circus school teaches seniors how to fall safely

Adelaide's Fearless Academy teaches older Australians circus-based movement skills, including parkour-style rolling techniques, to help them safely navigate falls and prevent injuries. Founded by trapeze artist Jon O'Drack, who survived a serious motorbike accident using his acrobatic training, the programme builds strength and confidence in seniors through structured circus exercises. AusActive, Australia's peak body for exercise and active health, is advocating for increased government support for such programmes as the country's ageing population grows.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
