This guide provides a technique for safely navigating narrow passageways using a modified human guide approach. The aim is to prevent collisions with others or obstacles in cramped spaces, such as doorways or crowded areas. The guide will position their arm behind their back while the traveler uses the guide’s elbow for support to form a single-file line. This ensures both individuals can move safely. Basic mastery of human guide techniques is required, along with proper arm positioning to avoid accidents during navigation.

Narrow Passageways • Defined: • Navigating through a narrow passageway by modifying human guide technique in order to walk through the narrow space.
Purpose: • To keep the guide and the traveler safe from collision with others and other objects in the narrow passageway.
When to use: • This technique could be used while going in and out of doorways or in crowded areas
How To: • The guide will drop their arm behind their back while the traveler slides their hand from the guide’s elbow to their forearm. • The guide’s arm will be diagonal behind their back, and the traveler’s arm will be straight. • The traveler can then follow in a single file line behind the guide.
Prerequisite Skills: • Basic Human Guide Techniques
Mastery: • Successfully and safely navigating through a narrow passageway
Teaching Suggestions: • The teacher should make sure the student’s arm is straight so as not to bump into the guide. • Make sure the guide’s arm is directly behind them so that the traveler is behind them and out of harm’s way.
