HW: How long did it take you to get to that point where you could pull yourself up and twist yourself around on the trapeze?
SD: I've only had four days.
HW: Could you have done that in the beginning of this show?
SD: Well, I was training to do that which is like flying trapeze and doing that on a cradle, but I broke my ribs. So when I broke my ribs, I couldn't train for that because had I fallen, and even when you get down, you fall into a net and I could have no contact with my ribs because they were broken. That was the stipulation. If I'm going to continue this, I had to do something where I would not have any impact. So then I started training for bungee which is what I did the first week. So as soon as my ribs healed, I was like, "Come on," which was last week. Sebastian and I decided to go back to it. So yeah, yeah I could've trained for it in the beginning but unfortunately my ribs got broken.
