I have told this before but it fits nicely here.  I helped David
syrotiak load in to my school when I was 12 and had to get him a
lacrosse helmet because of the i-beam.  He hit his head on ithe beam
mid-show but it struck him in the air vent of the helmet and he passed
out.  My fellow classmates watched the marionette crumple to the floor
and the show came to a stop untill David came to.
