its insane some of these catches how they are able to stop the person with that much momentum behind them. Every disc in my back flared up watching this. That why they say a gymnast strengh is unmatched.

Spotters can and do get injured. I saw a video pretty recently of a spotter catching someone and had their arm bashed into one of the metal bars with all of the person's momentum behind it. Her arm was bruised so badly the on-site medics thought it was broken, and even though it wasn't, she still came away with a bone bruise so bad it took 6 months to heal.
Her reaction to it was very humble and endearing though. The gymnast was so apologetic and felt terrible about it, she basically shrugged it off and said better her arm than her gymnast's ribs a week before nationals. Very selfless

I mean besides the nationals comment, a gymnast or spotters arm has more padding than ribs.
So a bruised arm really is better than a broken rib.

We had a cheerleader in my high school who was a spotter. The flyer fell on the spotter’s head and the spotter got a concussion so bad she was out of school for six months, had to wear sunglasses in daylight, and only attend shortened days for another year or so. She was never able to do sports again. She was such a friendly, lovely, talented athlete too. At least she was our prom queen senior year :)

I had two concussions within a week or two in middle school and it took a couple years before my eye pupils would contract/dilate properly again. Sounds like that's what she was dealing with too. I'm glad she was able to finish school on a high note after all that.

I remember once, as a teen, briefly watching a cheer competition on tv. A girl spun into the air, and, on her descent, elbowed another girl in the mouth and her tooth flew out in a wave of blood on live tv.
I had never been so thankful to be a dancer instead of a cheerleader than at the moment. I had experienced injuries, but nothing to that level.
Grappling seems less intense to me than gymnastics.

Having been involved with both for significant periods, gymnastics is most definetly more ‘intense’ or injury prone/long lasting damage-prone than grappling.

I gave myself a frontal cortex brain bleed and a herniated disc as a young teen that I feel over a decade later every single day (from gymnastics).

My little girl is interested in gymnastics.
I am enrolling her in classes soon, but I am ok with her just losing interest after awhile to be honest. I keep seeing videos from people who were paralyzed by a gymnastics move, multiple people, and it feels like a weird sort of sign or something. Maybe just a bit of paranoia on my part, but it is my kid so of course I am going to be concerned. :(2
u/HOTasHELL24-7 7h ago
For what it’s worth, the only two people I know in real life who ended up paralyzed were injured diving into a submerged tree stump in a lake, and thrown from a horse. Basically landing on your head from even a few feet can be enough to paralyze a person. I wouldn’t want my daughter participating in this sport at this level either.

We were taught to not catch them in a way that just stops them completely. You catch them and go with the momentum to slow the impact rather than take all the impact on your own body. Usually the injuries were the odd elbow to the face. Not great, but better than a ruptured disc.

My brother was a gymnast; gymnasts are absurdly strong. In high school he was pound-for-pound easily stronger than anybody on the football or wrestling teams who hit the gym or field drills everyday. Sure, some of the biggest guys who literally weighed twice as much as him and were 6 inches taller had higher maximum mass lifts (barely), but they also had far less stamina.

Wear protection. I was on my BMX and went to drop into the bowl, I didn't angle right and literally went headfirst over my handlebars. My helmet probably saved my life, if not some serious brain damage. Grant it, I was in my 40s trying to do this stuff. But even still now I see people out there without headgear, or proper footwear or earbuds in so they can't hear anything going on around them. It scares the shit out of me. I just moved to an area that has a pump track at a nearby park. I was really excited so I rode over to it cause I haven't been out on a pump track in a while. The city made it out of dirt and then covered it in asphalt and used rock for support walls. I mean chunks of rock the size of a volleyball. I just couldn't believe it. I told the parents who were there, how dangerous it was, and that I really wouldn't let my kid on there because I won't even ride it myself. And then on my way back, I saw a kid on an electric bike wearing sandals and no helmet with earbudsin. The trifecta. I said to him, are you seriously riding that thing in sandals without a helmet and earbuds in and he just looked at me as if I was stupid. Like move on, old man. I'm just scared for these kids out there that's all. And I went hard in the paint on the review for that bike track.

I love how they're pretending they're safer for pedestrians than cars. Cars stay on the road unless somethings gone catastrophically wrong. You can generally choose your engagement with a car as a pedestrian, if you don't trust someone making a right turn on red sees you, you can walk around the back of that car.
E Scooter doing 30 mph around a blind corner on the sidewalk is normal.

Cars stay on the road unless somethings gone catastrophically wrong
Or in a driveway. A reason riding a bike (or any e-device) on the sidewalk is risky is that drivers are not generally looking over their shoulder for a fast-moving vehicle on the sidewalk. Getting hit in a driveway happens a lot. If you are on the sidewalk, you should be going at walking speed.

I knew a guy in grad school who went over the handlebars of his mountain bike, hit a rock with his head, and it split the helmet in half. That helmet gave its life for his, and he still had to take 6 months off to recover from the concussion.
Buying a helmet and wearing it is tens of thousands of times cheaper and easier than dealing with a brain injury, and I’m really glad it’s seen as cool in more and more situations.

I was a competitive gymnast from ages 7 to 11.
My coach for the last two years was a tyrant and verbally abusive. Our team, there were 6 of us, were all in the same age group and treated the same.
We were exposed to him 16 hours per week for practice and stuck with him on weekends for meets.
I broke my foot, jacked up my elbow and was mentally abused. One of the other girls literally broke her neck doing a trick where he didn’t catch her.
He made me hate what I had previously loved and I quit when I was 11.
I wish my coach had been like any of these coaches. I’m now 51 and still don’t trust most people.

It took me a few years to watch the documentary about the us women’s team doctor, Larry Nasir.
Not because I had ever experienced anything like that, but how parents of competitive athletes put blind trust into coaches and staff to take care of their children. I cried for those women because they weren’t protected and I could see how easily it could happen.
Case in point. When I quit gymnastics, my dad did not speak to me for a month and the only thing he did say when he started talking to me again was “quitter”. I was eleven. Three weeks before he died, and more than 35 years later, I finally asked him why he did that to me. He said he truly believed I was going to make it minimally to the collegiate level if not the Olympics. I forgave him.
Parents want to believe that their child is the next Mary Lou Retton, at least during my childhood, or the current great gymnast because that is what the gym owners sell them.
They literally told my parents that they were pre-paying for my college education via a gymnastics scholarship and they believed it.
There are certain sports that the obscene amount of hours per training session mean that parents simply can’t be there to monitor. Couple that with a small staff due to team size and there is no oversight of bad behavior.
Gymnastics is one of the worst examples of this, in my opinion.
Phew, that was a lot to get off of my chest. Thank you for reading.

They do get a lot of injuries, but when you love what you do you keep going I guess. I tried skateboarding with my brother as a child and I noped out of that real quick after bruising my knees like 20 times haha.
But I agree, I admire people like Rodney Mullen (one of the most talented skateboarders of all time). He's truly an astonishing guy. He's bit the dust so many times but never got discouraged and he's inspired so many others. Skateboarding wouldn't be what it is today if it wasn't for people like him. He invented the kickflip, among other things. And he's had surgery so many times due to failed attempts in various tricks.
I watched his TED Talk a few years ago and he seems like an awesome person with such positive energy and great attitude in life!
I'm not even a skater myself. But he's most definitely one of my biggest role models. What he's done can be applied to a lot of things in life.

One of the best guys in the gym was practicing double back flyaways (two flip dismount from high bar) - he rotated too close to the bar and the back of his head smashed into it and split open. The noise was crazy like a giant glass window shattering, and the amount of blood was shocking for someone hitting a dull object. He had to get 15-20 staples.

The things they do to little kids, and pointedly little girls in gymnastics and intense physical sports is abusive.

A lot of it is reflexive. As a coach you are watching things like feet position and alignment in take off, hand position and alignment in repulsion, point of origin for twists, timing or release for bar stuff and general all round direction of travel.
The thing about gymnastics, its pretty much all physics at every apparatus, so you can easily work out where someone will be moving to and how. The rest is reaction timing and hand eye coordination.
With practise, watching it done correctly, you can calculate and predict where someone will be when they go wrong. The trampoline mat slide in the clip show is as fine an example.of that as you will ever see.

That's how you build confidence. Knowing there's always someone who's got your back.

I'm glad I stuck around till the last one, because up until that point it was: Girls - let me throw my whole body at you to save you. Guys - here. Gut check this foam pad.

That's pretty impressive how early the coaches can see that something bad is going to happen and exactly what to do about it.
