“Appendix 1 has a letter that can be given to protectees to help them understand their role in their own safety. We'll note a few of the guidelines here. Though ropelines and barricades improve white space, if protectees reach over the barricade into the crowd they lose many of the advantages. Accordingly, the letter to the protectee advises:When you are moving along a ropeline or barricade doing a press-the-flesh event, the first and most important step you can take is a step backwards. The bes...t practice is standing back two or more feet from the ropeline/barricade so that people have to reach out far toward you in order to connect, and you have to reach out just a bit toward them -- if you choose to.When you stand back two feet from the barricade, you'll profoundly improve the experience for yourself while also helping your protectors be more effective, less intrusive, and less obvious.The candidate in the following photos does this very well, standing back a full two feet from the barricade.Photo by Ron Murray, ImageActive Standing in this way, you can choose whom you touch and how you touch.MoreLess Read More Read Less
