What's the proper method upon entering a dumpster? Well, it all depends on the size of the dumpster and your BMI, body mass index. In laymen terms, fat bodies will have a difficult time getting in and out of dumpster, unless they come well equipped, as in a sturdy ladder or a stout friend willing to lend a hunk-of-boo, a maneuver that requires holding a large amount of weight on your interlocked fingers. Also there's the old stand-by trick of getting a running start and hurling your body over the top of the dumpster. Well, this stunt looks relatively easy on TV, it's a rather difficult feat in the world
of dumpster diving. If forced to do so, first look inside the dumpster and be sure of the content. Broken glass, sharp protruding metal or steel objects signals the need to either give up entering the dumpster or find another way, such as losing weight. If the dumpster is filled with cushions, bubble-wrap, or anything soft, you're good to go. Next start your run at least seventy foot away to give yourself the proper momentum for the jump. Then run like crazy, thinking I can do this, I can do this, and then a few feet from the dumpster, fly. Yes, fly. Not far though. Just enough to get your weight airborne. Of course, your first attempt may not be a successful one and, of course, you might crash into the dumpster and break something you might need later--but don't let that discourage you from trying again. Our next
lesson will be how to exit a dumpster after breaking your leg from landing too hard in an empty dumpster. Stay tuned.
