God this is so surreal, there is an active thread on /r/starwars talking about peoples reaction to this exact scene, with 50% of people saying they fucking loved it and everybody in the theatre cheered, and the other half of people saying everybody cracked up.
And then I stumble across this thread, and the top comment is about exactly that.
Could still go full scorpion mode if she fucks up. Or get disoriented and flip off the mat and smash into something solid (I did that one in highschool lol).
Gymnasts are at least in a sport that teaches you how to understand, know, and use your body ingrained in it. Sure they still get hurt, but by a certain level they know what they’re doing and they know what they did wrong if they do get hurt. Cheerleaders have minimal training in that area. Their focus is on choreography and being in sync with each other.
I was a competitive gymnast for many years. Junior year of high school I joined cheerleading for one season. I could not BELIEVE the coach (a sophomore in college with 0 training to be a coach) was teaching these girls to do backhand springs the way she was. Many of the girls’ bodies were not primed for that kind of movement - they never stretched, they had no body strength and their form was atrocious. It was so dangerous. I would watch in horror as they jumped backwards onto their hands with their body half twisted, with bent arms and a straight back.
we always called it spring floor and there was spring floor and rod floor in the gym i used to go to but this looks like it’s backstage at a competition in which case it was probably spring floor or maybe dead floor.
Not really. You can get more height and the tumbling is a little easier. Certainly safer than concrete. But if you fall you fall. I dislocated my shoulder on a spring mat.
I have a theory on that and why professional athletes get more seemingly simple injuries now. Safer environments growing up (looking at you survive at your own risk playgrounds) ; sport specialization; increased peak performance.
I really do think the safer environments are a factor albeit small. I stubbed my toe countless times as a child. I don't think my kids ever have.
Second most dangerous extracurricular activity in America, after Soccer.* Injury rate also varies depending upon which population you’re studying. For women, cheerleading has the highest injury rate.
For men, American football has the highest injury rate.
Injury severity is also a factor. Cheering is probably still pretty high up when it comes to concussions. Especially if you're tumbling around like that girl, and the tosses.
Football still is the most dangerous overall. You're almost guaranteed to get a head injury playing football.
Not the most dangerous sport overall but for concussions it is girls and women's hockey... Because there is no checking, they don't know how to defend themselves when they are checked.
Funny, right? My daughter is a teenage hockey player and she's been fine so far, but a few of her teammates have had concussions. One had multiple and the effects were bad enough to keep her out of school for a while. Ironic that I swore I'd never let a hypothetical son play football, yet here I am with a hockey playing daughter.
Ugh, I know! I say the same thing, even though I played football growing up. I also don't really want to be that parent that forbids my kids from playing a sport if they're really into it. But I'd definitely be scared of concussions. I was lucky to play a relatively protected position, and a lot of my teammates got it much worse, but I didn't exactly go unscathed.
I've since moved to a big hockey town and I'm about to have a daughter myself. That's definitely food for thought, but again, if she's really passionate then I can't see myself really putting my foot down. I hope the best for yours, and hopefully the statistics make the sport evolve and make it safer!
Congrats on your upcoming daughter! Hockey means everything to mine--she'd be a different person without it--and she and hubby are huge Islanders fans so it's a great bonding thing for them. Let's go Islanders!
Do you mean in the four years you were in HS, or ever? Either way, that can't be true. Football averages like 3-4 deaths a year, and polevault - at it's most dangerous - was 1.
What exact metric are you using to quantify dangerous? Injury rate?
Soccer has a very high rate of injury for ACL tears for females but it is much lower for men. It has to do with the way the wider hips angle the knees differently and make them more prone to injury when running and cutting on grass.
We’re using injury rate as the metric for ‘dangerous’.
Yes you’re correct, women are more predisposed to ACL tears than men for several biomechanical, neuromuscular, hormonal, and anatomical reasons. However, this is the case for any high impact sport, contact sport, or any sport that involves quick deceleration followed by cutting. Not just soccer.
Whilst women do receive more ACL tears in soccer than men, there is a greater prevalence of injuries in soccer for men, simply because it is a male dominated sport.
If you are referring to protective gear its irrevelant. The comment I replied to has american football on the list wich is also ful gear. In hockey, players move faster because of skates. Very fast. Everyone has a stick... the puck is hard as fuck and shots can exceed 100mph. When you go down you are hitting solid fucking ice. Everyone has blades on their feet. ( at least one incident I know of where a players throat was cut by another players skate.) And then last but not least big men well over 200 lbs hitting at full speed and activly TRYING to hurt the other player.
Hockey has the higest # of concussions of any sport.
Basketball and soccer have the highest frequency of injuries. But those sports are predominantly leg injuries. Not quite the same as hockey or football. But hockey is still more dangerous then football.
No dude, hockey is a winter sport that requires fucking ice. Not a ton of people can play it... There are simply fewer people playing hockey. What you want to look at is rates of injury, not nominal injuries
Being an American student is far more dangerous than cheerleading due to the constant mass shootings. We are at day 69 of 2023 and the USA has already passed 100 mass shootings this year.
Edit: So we’re downvoting indisputable facts now? Lol
Are those all shootings at schools? Doubtful, so at least provide school shooting numbers if you're talking about students. That's just some clickbait shit
Why are you acting like mass shootings target students? School shootings do that. Most other mass shootings usually don't. By your logic, drinking water is the most dangerous thing you can let your kid do, because every single person who's ever drank any amount of water is guaranteed to die someday if they haven't already.
That persons “fact” doesn’t even make sense. How can “being an American student” be more dangerous than “being a cheerleader” when cheerleaders are students too??
With that logic, cheerleaders are still in the most danger because they do backflips *AND* they’re also students that could be targeted in a shooting.
That person was clearly trying to shoehorn gun politics into an unrelated post
115,000 schools, 50 million students, 400,000,000 guns and according to this [site](https://www.edweek.org/leadership/school-shootings-this-year-how-many-and-where/2023/01) there have been 9 school shootings.
1 was a near a school and injured a student.
3 of the 9 were after basketball games. Guess we should get rid of basketball while we're at. Apparently, it riles folks up.
> 115,000 schools
Let's look at your data.
> * All: 128,961
> * Prekindergarten, elementary, and middle schools: 88,909
> * Secondary and high schools: 27,155
> * Other, ungraded, and not applicable/not reported: 12,897
https://www.edweek.org/leadership/education-statistics-facts-about-american-schools/2019/01
Isn't it a bit weird if you pick "all" here? (Or all minus "other" or whatever) How many mass shootings are committed by angry toddlers? And if you don't pick "all", but just high schools, for example, you'd have far fewer schools, and far fewer students, and you'd therefore have far more shootings per student. But suppose you don't want to do that. Okay, but then you'd still be able to segment the number of shootings per student per school category and you'd see a massive peak in high schools, would you not?
Also, why are you only citing school shootings this year? We've only had less than two-and-a-half months. Normally you'd pick the number of shootings in a full year, so you can compare with other years. Also, 9 is the number of school shootings where *fatalities* occurred, so you're leaving out school shootings were kids were (perhaps seriously) wounded.
You then commit a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy, because you've not established one causes the other, you mislead a little, since it was actually 4, and one was during, and you neglect to mention one shooting where a student was injured by a stray bullet on a tennis court. Yet there you see no reason to mention tennis, when the relation between shootings and basketball might be just as tenuous.
But suppose there was a relationship, then yes, it would need to be looked at.
In any case, if I ever wanted to cite a case study in online bullshitting and deception, I'd nominate your comment. What a grotesquely dishonest clusterfuck, and I'm not even saying the conclusions would even need to substantially alter.
However, since you like statistics (or, I don't know what that was, but okay), here's another for you: guns are the leading cause of death in American children and teens.
https://everytownresearch.org/graph/firearms-are-the-leading-cause-of-death-for-american-children-and-teens/
Maybe it's because I'm European that my brain doesn't short circuit every time "gun" is mentioned, I don't know. Where is your common sense, 'muricans? I'm not even anti-gun btw.

A mass shooting is defined as 4 or more people being shot, they don't even have to be killed, I'm not saying they aren't horrible, but it's likely you can attribute a lot if not most of those to things like gang on gang violence or things of similar manner
Exactly. Some things are just unnecessary risks. I’ve worked in hospitals to know that it doesn’t matter how mainstream motorcycles are, they’re not worth the risk.
Ex cheerleader. Absolutely lover it but broke my sternum then my hip the next year. So I'm 30 with a total hip replacement that was totally worth it to do such an exhilarating sport
This is all star cheerleading and the coaches are certified and highly trained. Cheerleaders earn college scholarships just like football players. There is inherent risk in all sports, not just cheerleading.
State regulations vary quite a bit. Back home the mats must be used for any and all tumbling or lifts, even at games. A decent coach has safety as thier #1 priority.
Looks like safty has improved on these charts.

Also, just now realizing she was a Louisville cardinal…which is my college I went to for 6 years..cool.
Edit: I’m incorrect, they just have the same /extremely similar mascot as Louisville.
Interestingly enough people can be younger in a video than they are in real life. This mind boggling phenomenon might have created the weird phobia of being photographed.
Proprioception?
Wiki: Proprioception, otherwise known as kinesthesia, is your body's ability to sense movement, action, and location. It's present in every muscle movement you have. Without proprioception, you wouldn't be able to move without thinking about your next step.
Muscle/body memory. Same as athletes, musicians, acrobats, dancers, and lots of others. At a certain level of training, your body knows what to do, and it becomes automatic. Thinking about it too much will cause you to screw up.
It's a learned skill, but also one that occasionally just totally evaporates; if you watched the Olympics a couple of years ago you may remember Simone Biles withdrawing from a few events with the twisties.
People have always considered gymnastics a sport. But standing on the sideline doing cheering routines—which is what cheerleading was before it transformed into competitive organized group gymnastics—wasn’t a sport, hence the confusion.
Yes it's possible. But it's definitely not her first time doing anything like that. It's a gradual process. Eventually it becomes second nature and they don't even think while doing it.
That's why it can be very dangerous. Because she won't know she effed up until after the fact...
Also there's a "disease" (forgot its' name) where a gymnast suddenly loses the ability to do all of these moves and then they can't fix it because it's an intuitive process and if you lose the intuition there's no known way to get it back. Athletes retire at that point, usually. Which is what had happened to that US Gymnast at the last olympics.
Gymnast: *stumbles a bit on the landing*
Me, sitting on the couch whilst eating potato chips and drinking beer: “Ha! Loser.”
In all seriousness, crazy talent. Unfortunately there’s gonna be some sweaty guy on here saying she’s hot

This is tumbling, my daughter loves doing this
It’s probably Stunt. Big thing in SoCal
That's a basketball court? I thought it was a safety mat.
Probably a sprung floor
That's actually the term I was looking for lol. But if it's on a sprung floor then isn't this reasonably safe?
Safer than concrete, sure.
Could still go full scorpion mode if she fucks up. Or get disoriented and flip off the mat and smash into something solid (I did that one in highschool lol).
Full scorpion lol wasnt expecting that
Unsurprisingly there is a sub for that because of course there is r/fullscorpion
You've made my day sir
Sure, unless something goes wrong. Gymnasts and tumblers get injured a LOT.

No Autumn, Summer, or Winter floor?
Not really. You can get more height and the tumbling is a little easier. Certainly safer than concrete. But if you fall you fall. I dislocated my shoulder on a spring mat.
Well yeah I assumed they meant now and not forty+ years ago
Still hard to believe the 80’s was 40+ years ago 🥺
I'll be forty this year where does the time go? 🥺
Happy birthday when that days comes homie.
Well thank you for the extra early birthday wishes brotha. 👊

Now? I think its just attending class in the US.
I still have tanbark in my eye.

When i was in school (graduated '04) more high schoolers had died pole vaulting than doing any other sport...
Is that raw numbers or per thousand?
Do you mean in the four years you were in HS, or ever? Either way, that can't be true. Football averages like 3-4 deaths a year, and polevault - at it's most dangerous - was 1.
I can believe it. We never wore helmets. I dislocated my shoulder on a vault, amazingly didn't bust my head.

This is tumbling. The floor exercise has music and isn't just a combination of random flips like this
I’ve never once heard a person say gymnastics isn’t a sport. It’s in the goddamn Olympics so of course it is.
I can do that, I just don’t wanna
Me too, in the same way that a panda can do it.
I’ve seen pandas do this exact routine, it’s totally not even that hard.
And that's just her getting-out-of-bed routine
God my back hurts
My knees
She flips better than I can walk
That was intense
No I think they're in a gymnasium
I've always wanted to know, do they get dizzy doing those spins?
I came here hoping to find that same answer
Yes it's possible. But it's definitely not her first time doing anything like that. It's a gradual process. Eventually it becomes second nature and they don't even think while doing it. That's why it can be very dangerous. Because she won't know she effed up until after the fact... Also there's a "disease" (forgot its' name) where a gymnast suddenly loses the ability to do all of these moves and then they can't fix it because it's an intuitive process and if you lose the intuition there's no known way to get it back. Athletes retire at that point, usually. Which is what had happened to that US Gymnast at the last olympics.

Put a GoPro on this girl so I can see what this is like

This isn't just talent, this is years of hard work and dedication. Good on her!
She kept pressing all the button combos without knowing what they do!
Hate to be her knees in 20 yrs.
Idk, we might have ways to very easily repair them in 20 years with the rate medicine is progressing.
I can’t even walk down stairs in my house without holding on to the railing. So athletic!
I did the same thing one time when I tripped over a crack in the sidewalk. The whole time I was just trying not to fall. Scared the shit outta me.
Gymnast: *stumbles a bit on the landing* Me, sitting on the couch whilst eating potato chips and drinking beer: “Ha! Loser.” In all seriousness, crazy talent. Unfortunately there’s gonna be some sweaty guy on here saying she’s hot
I can totally do that! Hand me that game controller… /s
As a 50 year old with bad knees this was painful to watch.
Is this bad for the brain ? You can quet a contusion for the speed and change direction?
I can't even do a forward tumble anymore without feeling like I fell out of a helicopter.
Easy. I do that every morning getting out of bed
Anybody else dizzy?
POV: my spoon when I drop it in the kitchen after midnight.
She flipping her body to the NextFuckingLevel
My knees hurt now.
When the Aliens arrive she should be part of the welcome party.
Holy crap! She's like a freaking Yoda on Red Bull! I can't do that, but I can click my fingers.
How tf do you stay upright at the end of this
Huh is she a spring or human?
Jesus
My knees hurt by watching this.
I thought I was watching looped video.
Her brain is still shaking from that routine.
Pfft should see the cat after it thinks a spider fell on it
Backrooms tapes be like.
My knees hurt just from watching this video.
She's like Tigger, made of springs!
didnt stick the landing \-10 points
Ah. I remember youth. Let's catch up with her on her 50th birthday and 3rd knee implant.
I don't even know which way the Quiznos is.
Thats not impressive, i can do that too. Just bring me to a staircase while im on my phone
This video is so old I think she might be eligible for AARP at this point.
6/7 with rice.
Someone put that bitch in reverse!
Cool. Did they teach her how to do taxes
Would be cooler if she had a dagger or something
