Category - Unsafe Movements

Lowering the saddle during a class:
  1. Is a good way to emphasize the load on your quads.
  2. Is unsafe as it removes the option to sit and rest.
  3. Is not possible without dismounting.
  4. Is fine for BMX racers.
Explanation
Answer: B- Lowering the saddle during a class is unsafe as it removes the option to sit and rest. Lowering the saddle, in most cases, would make sitting down more difficult, or if it is completely lowered, might make sitting down impossible. Being unable to sit down would be unsafe in the case of an injury or emergency, or simply if the effort expended requires a rest or period of lower intensity.
