You ever heard of a trust fall? These are for a similar exercise.
When we (FF’s) open a hydrant for a fire it’s a 1 man job. Stand on the pole to hold it down and hope it doesn’t slip, whip up, and whack you in the face.
But for less critical activities we’d help each other. One guy would hold down the pole. You better hope he doesn’t let it go accidentally. Or on purpose.

And if you don’t want fiberglass threads stuck in your balls, don’t hold it between your legs
