You’re still healthy

The good thing is that there are training sessions and orientations available before you go for the challenge. If you believe that you cannot move forward anymore, you can always cancel your plans. However, in most instances, these orientations will only make you feel more confident in taking the plunge.

There might also be some safety procedures that you have to learn along the way. Take them seriously since you’ll never know what would happen.
