Women Peeling on Bars....looking for old posts

[munchkin3]

I few months ago, someone posted some videos about peeling and especially why some good coaches stand IN to catch.... I have tried to search CB but nothing comes up....any help?
I want to show a friend who has no idea what could possibly go wrong with tap swings.....

Not sure why I just watched those - but I'm very glad it was after my DD was Level 4 and Level 5...

I needed to remind a friend what bars is about for the girls.....I reminded her of the danger in bars particularly and what can happen. The girls have a lot to deal with while on this apparatus.......it's not like, just get up there and do what the coach is saying and get a 9.5!
Optional gymnastics really puts a different spin on it for me.....I am much more scared now. I just want munch to be safe and not fall or get injured.........
I mean I want her to rock it, but I want her to be safe MORE.

dd peeled on bars Friday. She hit the mat with a flat back. She hit so hard that the seam of her leo left a bruise on her back. She is still extremely sore. We have a meet on Friday morning. I told her it's like she has whiplash through her entire body. Lots of motrin and epsom salt baths, and prayers of course!

Thanks guys! One of her teammate's moms is a former pt. I had her look at her tonight, she thinks it's just sprained/strained. Nothing scary standing out. She modified her workout tonight, just ran a few routines on each event, and stretched. Hoping she can still shine Friday morning! Thanks again for the kind words and well wishes.

Thinking good thoughts for her, and I so hope she rises to the occasion tomorrow!

I was at Lady Luck this past weekend; and during a level 5 bar warm-up in the other flight, a kid peeled off in the back, peddled madly in the air before crashing down. I did not get a view of how she hit the ground; but she stayed there for a few minutes and the onsite athletic trainer was called over to take a look at her.

Timed warm-ups eventually resumed, as did the gymnast. Going by her warm-up performance after, I'd say the kid was an experienced, decent bar worker; and that her peel is just one of those fluke occurrences- which reinforces the idea that peels can happen on tap swings to any gymnast no matter how experienced. So always a good idea to stand there on the alert. Just in case.
