• Part 1,
  Learning to use Multiaxial Mobility Gear is extremely difficult insofar as it requires the trainee to shift from a two-dimensional in a three-dimensional spatial awareness.
• Part 2,
  Multiaxial maneuvers require physical stamina, strong legs, excellent spatial awareness and the mental fortitude to avoid panic.
