I was having a question and answer session at the end of a lesson on balancing on the balance beam. The students in the class were answering a question about mounts and dismounts. I asked them if there were other things they could mount or dismount other than a balance beam?

One student asked "If you fall off your bike would that be a painful dismount?"

Then another student asked "If you jump into the Grand Canyon would that be a fatal dismount?"

After those two questions I realised then that they had gotten it!
