Shortly before Burning Man, I was invited to exhibit a deathtrap at the after party for the TEDxToronto 2011 talks. With both the grown-up-sized deathtraps made so far having been given away at the burn, Miss Scott was pressed into service. There was some good fun had on them before someone connected to insurance noticed that if the trampoline performers weren't covered to allow party guests on to their trampoline, then guests playing on the deathtraps were almost certainly not covered either. That said, there were still enough "performers" and deathtrap crew to have a good time on the deathtrap.

On a less positive note, by the end of the night, Miss Scott's struts were starting to show some early signs of fatigue, so she's being retired from service as a deathtrap and returned to the 5-cubes project in order to be able to continue it.

Miss Scott and 4 new deathtraps (2 grown-up-sized, 2 kid-sized) made the trek down to Black Rock City for Burning Man. All 5 were initially set up by Tuesday in KidsVille, and on Friday, two of them were carted out to the open playa (where it was pretty quickly discovered that their lighting was inadequate, and they were placed near the DMV sign to keep them from being run into/over/etc).

3 of the deathtraps were given away as gifts (both of the grown-up-sized ones, and one of the kid-sized ones) and the remaining two were brought back to Toronto to be available for planned appearances at TEDxToronto, and Nuit Blanche.
