billstephenson Moderator Registered: 02/07/07 Posts: 3917 Loc: Ozark Mountains in SW Missouri	Quote: On level ground, your arms should be at right angles (forearm vs upper arm) while holding the poles. I'd be afraid I'd slip and crack a rib with a pole that height. Has that ever happened to anyone here? Bill
