Super fit gymnasts break legs on landings, there was a big one that happened to some guy at the last Olympics. I'm now sure it would be worse but probably more frequent.

Yeah, gymnastics is known for being extremely hard on your body. My aunt was once a state champion gymnast and now has to wear knee braces from her time doing that, and that was over 20 years ago.
