I was watching an old AFV show tonight with the kids when a gym blooper series came on. First thing I did was make dd leave the room - didn't want her to see what can happen. She sees it in real life enough... Anyway, there were at least three clips of regular sized uneven bars collapsing during routines in competition! talk about scary! These bars did not appear to have cables attached, which I thought was really strange. Even when we have competitions in places where you can't bolt to the floor, there are still cables set into concrete blocks, etc. Has anyone ever seen this happen in real life?
