"KEVIN BARRET: Now, here we are on the ground again. You're going to fall down. It happens to everybody. It's happened way more than I've ever wanted it to, okay? But once your down here, it's good to know how you're going to get up, okay? Get out of this situation and back on to your stilt walking, alright? So, what you're going to want to do, if you're right footed, put your right foot in front, left foot back. It's good to stagger your feet once you want to actually get up, alright? Make sure you have something in place. I have my chair right here. I'm going to use this to get up, okay? Alright, so front foot forward, you're going to focus on using the pegs to get up. Now, you're not worried about your feet so much as when you're walking. You're worrying about those pegs, alright? So, you're going to position yourself here, get on your knees just like this, front foot forward back foot back, okay? Now, get the pegs securely onto the cement, make sure you have a firm grasp with your chair, alright? Now, you're going to step up onto both pegs just like this. Alright. Now, once you're at this position, pull your back foot forward, front foot until you're fully standing. That's how you get up once you fall down."
