<div>Another way to make the powers that be see reality is for you to work up a cost breakdown for what it would cost to get you trained to do this. So maybe a three week training and practitum, cost of the additional insurance rider, any required equipment. Don't forget that your understudy will also need this training, in case you get sick or break an arm or whatever. I suspect that those costs would get into the five figure range pretty easily. </div><div><br></div><div>Dale</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757">Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: JIM VOGEL via Stagecraft <stagecraft@theatrical.net> <br>Date: 02/01/2016 12:18 (GMT-05:00) <br>To: slitterst@gmail.com, Stagecraft Mailing List <stagecraft@theatrical.net> <br>Cc: JIM VOGEL <james.vogel@wisc.edu> <br>Subject: Re: [SML] Flying Effects / Aerial Dance, Liability,
