What is the difference between a spotter and a backspot in a stunt?

A spotter monitors the flyer during the stunt; a backspot provides additional support from behind.

In this area, safety comes from clear roles: the spotter keeps a close eye on the flyer during the stunt, watching for balance, alignment, and any signs of trouble so they can intervene if needed. The backspot stays behind the flyer, providing physical support from that position to stabilize, assist with holds, and be ready to catch or help prevent a fall if something goes off.

That’s why the correct statement fits best: the spotter monitors the flyer during the stunt, while the backspot provides additional support from behind. The other ideas mix up who watches versus who provides physical support, or suggest the roles are identical or that the spotter leads the stunt from the front.
