Ouchy...hope she gets on the mend soon! 39 mins in.. 🙈
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OOh, that's horrible 🙁 Hope they didn't show a slo-mo replay but I didn't hang around to find out!
I feel sick. At least she has her Aerospace degree to fall back on...

Hopefully no pun intended?
GOOD GODS!.
My knees have swollen up just watching that.
I did not watch the slow mo!

Me neither. Looked absolutely horrible. But this is one of the things I don’t get whenever I watch gymnastics - which is about once every 4 years, funnily enough. 😀 When they’re landing jumps, they appear to “try” to do it with their legs rigid. This seems really dangerous seeing as we’ve been told since we were kids that when you land you bend your knees to absorb the impact. Why the hell do they do this?
Stevie D: Too soon?

I think they do it to set up the next move. In this case the double dislocation seat drop. Yuech.
Poor girl. Horrendous.
Yeah, this is one I won't be watching.
Oooof, no idea why I watched that. I knew what would happen 🙁
Reminds me of when Mrs FB had her knee dislocated last month.
owwwwww
I've broken and dislocated too many things for me to have any desire to watch anything like that - but I did read about it today. F'ing oooyah!!!
Taken me about 10yrs to get over the PTSD of dislocating my right knee, then to stop the pain relocating it myself by pushing it off a table whilst I was lying on the floor. Alcohol may have bene involved...
Bloody hell!

Check who's sat in second with a 97.450 on the beam tho..
get in!

Reminds me somewhat of watching American Football once, Washington Redskins v NY Giants, when the Skins QB Joe Theisemann got sacked from behind by linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who landed hard on Joe’s extended leg. His lower leg folded between knee and ankle - one of the more sickening things I’ve seen on telly. Ended Joe’s career right there.
Not keen to watch that. My son tackled a player on a muddy pitch whose leg slipped out to the side. In the tackle the poor boy a broke leg in several places, an arm, a shoulder blade, disclocated shoulder. It was traumatic for everyone. In the next game my son's team lost 65-0, nobody wanted to go near the other players.
Done the same to one of my knees some years ago - can only imagine the pain the young girl must have been in to have done both of them.
I hope she wasnt conscious when they pulled them back inline!!
What's the prognosis for a double knee dislocation? surely serious tendon damage? Guess she's young, so not as bad as it could be??
Two cruciate ligaments, laterals too, poor woman. 🙁
I read a report that she broke both legs and dislocated both knees.
Gary's whose beam were you sitting on?
Why, why why did I watch that?
Got to love he commentator “looks like she might be hurt there”
Wasn’t really graphic but watching it in slow mo was impressive.
Gotta hurt loads...
Won't be as bad as my back snapping in two mid-air from a car driver pulling in front of me, then landing broke 4 right ribs to go with it. The next week was insanely painful., never mind the crash. I knew it was bad 'in the air'. Split my L1 and T12 in two.
Morphine is great !!! That with anti 'spasm' meds (docs moved me, rib tissues would spasm, causing back muscled to spasm) - I would have happily died those first few days... wasn't a good time.
I would never wish a major injury like posted, or mine on anyone, it was just so bad, death was a good idea...
But, we still keep doing it....
still creepy.
Just can't decide this time if less so or more so.
Oh ****!!!
Bloody hell it looked like her knees bent the wrong way 🙁
Poor lady.
Poor girl.
I know nothing of gymnastics, hence the following question: Was that extra mat she landed on supposed to be there? Is it a standard thing?
I ask because to me it looked like she got hurt because she under-rotated, abruptly halting her forward momentum. Landing on a platform higher than her takeoff meant she had less airtime to complete the rotation, compared to doing the same on a flat surface. If she'd always practised on flat ground then that may have made the difference. Small margins, but I guess that's what they work with.
Having done and coached flips/spins etc in snowboarding, albeit at a much lower level than these guys, I have some related experience.
That's grimorama, hope she recovers as well as she can. Still, she has a job lined up with Boeing, so it's not all bad.

Not the most popular airline company at the moment
I dare not watch that. Just reading the first few comments made me decide I didn't need to see it.
Why post stuff like that?
Ouch, that’s unsettling to watch.
Poor girl!
Not the most popular airline company at the moment
But can they land?
Nope, can't bring myself to click play.
Honestly it’s nothing graphic

Neither of them has a leg to stand on TBH
Between watching that and Thrashers "Hall of Meat" which shows skating injury's caught on film, I wonder why I ever leave the house
