If you were trained, you'd know where to find them. WORKING WITH WIRES IS DANGEROUS!!!

I was only going to use them for small hover effects and a few mid air flips. Anything else you can suggest instead of? any help appreciated.

Oh just a few mid-air flips...lol. Here's what you could use safely. Go to Yahoo. Search for "trampolines".There is a web-site, sorry I forgot the address. It is for people to train on a trampoline doing flips, and stuff. Or for on the ground doing flips and stuff. It is a harness, connected to two huge poles, which you put in the ground, or some models of it you don't have to. Put it in front of a green or blue screen. Volia`!Flips! And hovers! And they sell it to the general public.
