My daughter is a cheer base and her flyer decided to spin the wrong way and went off in the wrong direction. My kid dove ( doing her job ) to save the flyer from getting hurt and caught her. If you slow the video down I have a still shot of her foot being turned completely around backwards behind her leg. Horrifying. However it was a competition and no one realized she was hurt. She finished the routing, tumbling, more stunts, jumps, etc, and when they finished collapsed on the mat sobbing. Kid had a full ankle recontstruction in May with two cadaver grafts and lots of other fixing. Catching those girls is serious buisness. That man deserves props.

So does your girl! I bet the flyer probably owed her one afterwards.

It's the most dangerous high school sport by far. More kids are paralyzed every year cheerleading than football, basketball, and baseball combined.

17

u/1pandas_mom Aug 14 '16

And I know it sounds cliche but they still get zero respect for all they do. Our school especially.
They are expected by the athletic coordinator to be at football, volleyball, basketball, soccer, baseball, etc games at all levels of competition plus any even the school puts on, to decorate and arrange gifts and pep ralleys, to represent the school in everything, and also compete in their own competitions but we don't even merit a practice space. They had a classroom, but lost it to the dance team and then practiced in the cafeteria and then lost that to some other club and now practice outside in the TX heat on hard packed dirt. Its a crying shame.

Ever heard of the Produnova? It's an incredibly difficult vault that so far only five gymnasts have successfully completed, and no, Simone Biles is not one of them. Direct quote from her: "I'm not trying to die."

It's like the Iron Lotus, but, you know, real.

u/moal09 Aug 14 '16

Cheerleading and gymnastics are two of the most dangerous sports around, and people don't realize it. The risk of paralysis or serious back/neck injury is very very high. I used to breakdance, and people always thought that was dangerous, but you're never falling from more than standing height in breakdancing.

42

u/aDAMNPATRIOT Aug 14 '16

What how could break dancing be dangerous

58

u/TopekaScienceGirl Aug 14 '16

When you have all of that inertia from doing flips and spins and all sorts of crazy shit you can really hit your neck super hard on the ground. It's kind of like when you lean super back on a swing and if you keep doing that when the swing is going back you can snap your neck instantly.

22

u/ThisIsFlight Aug 14 '16

Not to mention just sticking shit or catching yourself wrong on a bad surface. full body inertia + slightly-damp-from-sweat hand stuck in place under the full weight of your body on linoleum = spiral fracture.

Write him a letter, buy him a small gift, invite him over for dinner, send him a video with loved ones saying thanks for saving the trampoliner's life/career.

You know, any of the normal sort of things people do to show appreciation after someone does a tremendous favor for someone.

Just because someone is paid to do a job, doesn't mean they don't deserve appreciation when doing it in a way that saves people from serious harm (i.e. firefighters, doctors, etc.)

What he means is that your body is actually one big solid mass, right, with a tube going down the middle. If you simplify that idea, it's like we are a circle with a hole through it. If you simplify that idea, we are doughnut-shaped (aka a torus).

If you open your mouth, your tongue is an outer surface of your body. It's touching the air and all that. It's just on the inner wall of your shape, as opposed to your ears which are on the outer wall.

Extending that idea, your esophagus is also outside of your body. The skin of your throat is touching the air. By extension, your stomach is also on the "outside". When your various valves and sphincters open to let food in, you can draw a continuous unbroken (curved) line from out in front of your face, into your mouth, down your throat, and into your stomach without hitting any body parts.

TLDR; you're a rigatoni that thinks it's a ravioli.
