Indeed. And that is why this move, and I mean, especially this move, 
should never be taught over the internet and noone should attempt to try 
this on a woman after only reading about it on the internet. Fact is, 
that a badly led volcada is the most uncomfortable moves of all for a 
woman, it is not only painful but indeed poses a health risk as Larry 
already mentioned above, even though he makes it look as though it would 
always be the woman who has a problem with the lean. A man with bad 
balance, poor axis, little strength, bad posture, shorter and/or lighter 
than the woman, wrong alignment in the embrace (the volcada needs some 
special adjustment you have to know beforehand) - if you have one or 
several of these qualities in that list- please don't do it. It feels 
awful, believe me.
On the other hand, a man with enough skill and a trained body and of 
reasonable weight (I say this because I live in Japan where people are 
generally small and slight) can treat the woman to a beautiful 
expreience. But then, this man would not sit in front of his computer, 
trying to learn this move with the help of larrynla's written 
instructions. So please, train in class, or don't do it. You will spare 
your partners a lot of aggravation and possibly moemtns of panic, 
injuries, like pulled muscles, wrenched backs, sqeezed disks in the 
spine and such. AND she might never dance with you again and tell all 
her friends about this, too.
