That’s what we did.Though it did’nt help me.In ‘72 in NJ I keeled over during a COC ceremony and when I came back too, the medics were draggin’me (not carrying)to the ambulance.Those were the days.
Fortunately, most of our parades were on a grass field, so at least when people keeled over they didn’t hit concrete or metal (as in a ship’s deck).
