Holy…..I’ve been a flight medic for 14 years and am horrified at how awful that medical response was. First and foremost they should have grabbed a back board, a neck brace and secured her C-spine then tested for CSM immediately after. Not sit her up while she rolls her neck around, what the hell people!! They need to do better, period!
That was so scary looking, thankful she is ok. A gymnast named Jullisa D’Anne Gomez was instantly paralyzed in a a vaulting accident in Japan in 1988. Elena (Yelena) Mukhina was paralyzed during a dangerous tumbling move two weeks before the 1980 Olympics. Taylor Lindsey Noel was also paralyzed at 14 YO after falling from the uneven bars and breaking her neck. Parents think long and hard before you push your children into this sport. It’s ok if your child is not an elite athlete. I’m sure the parents of these girls later wished they had just let them be little girls.
She was fortunate that her spine was aligned vertically when she compressed the floor. If she had attended the floor with a flexed or extended neck this would be a worse outcome. Google mechanisms of spine/neck injuries for more details. MD here.
As a nurse, I was shocked at how hard she hit and the care given afterwards. They didn’t seem to know what they were doing IMO. They also took too long in getting to her. Just my thoughts. I can’t even imagine the outcome had she had a flexed neck.
This is the worst medical team I have ever seen, I am sorry… they seemed to really take their time while she could have been seriously injured, maybe even for life. Thank god I saw in the comments she is ok now… :(
My first thought too. They are so useless! Slow to respond, then they have her sitting upright when she should have been lying down with her head stabilized. Their actions (or should I say, inaction) could have made an injury so much worse. Shame on them.
I've seen much worse handling in gymnastics unfortunately. Multiple times after potential neck injuries I've seen medical teams and coaches immediately roll gymnasts over, pull them to their feet (??? I guess to convince them to walk it off), etc. I will never understand how gymnastics coaches or medical personnel working at a dangerous sport don't know you shouldn't risk paralyzing the injured person by moving them
OMG had that floor mat had no spring in it she would probably be dead. She is so lucky! These women make it look so easy we forget just how dangerous this sport is.
If it had no spring, she wouldn’t be able to do a double front flip. Much of the tumbling could not be done on a hard floor. I was a gymnastics coach before the spring loaded floors were introduced. It completely changed the floor routines. Unfortunately, now with the emphasis on tumbling, the dance training gets neglected.
@@lisabaltzer4190 I totally agree. I’m 62 and was a gymnast myself. Tumbling has changed dramatically because of the spring floor, making it much more exciting but dangerous too.
@@lisabaltzer4190de acuerdo contigo y la verdad, siento que el arte de este deporte se ha perdido. Yo miro a una Olga Korbut o a Comaneci (mi adorada Nadia) y creo que el deporte ha perdido. Quizá como ha perdido la música con el reguetón y otras lides?
Elena Mukhina a Russian world champion became a quadriplegic landing on her chin breaking her neck during a practice floor routine trying to do a Salto weeks before the 1980 olympics.
@@karenhilmy after the accident she was quoted as saying "thank God I don't have to compete in the Olympics now. I believe she has passed away since. Rest easy now sweet angel. Your pain is gone and you can do flips in heaven now. 😭😭❤🙏

@@timtags honestly I still get moved to tears Every time I read about Elena Mukhina 😖😭
Exato! Somente um espírito de porco torce para que um ginasta caia ou se acidente. Podemos torcer para que nossos ginastas façam melhor que os demais, mas nunca torcer para que os outros cometam erros.
@@philosophiaentis5612Espírito de porco? Eu acredito que precisa ser perverso, cruel e ter um certo grau de PSICOPATIA para torcer para os outros caírem. Eu hein.
Nunca me había planteado siquiera que alguien desee algo tan sucio y terrible como desear una caída en un deporte de riesgo.¿ Es todo lo contrario de lo que un buen deportista debe contemplar. La competición si no es limpia, no tiene sentido ni validez; no hay honor en ganar con trampa o intentando provocar el mal al oponente. El respeto debe ser la conexión entre deportistas.
I see why the floor has spring in it… it’s not to assist them in getting height off the floor but to protect them in freak accidents. If the floor has a bounce it can spring down then up opposed to a stiff floor with no give .
It reminds me elena mukhina's accident. She was instantanely paraplegic after that ond died from complications years later. Hopefuly this gymnast had no conséquences. It was scary.
Ivana atendimento envolvendo esse tipo de acidente não é pit-stop de F1! Tem que ser demorado mesmo e cada detalhe na remoção envolvendo fratura de coluna conta!
@@edsongoncalves2041 sim, eu sei. Mas me referi a demora para chegarem até à ginasta. A "chegada" no lugar do acidente! Demorou para chegarem até a acidentada. Nada comentei sobre o atendimento. Vc observou a demora até chegarem no lugar do acidente? Ou eu que fiquei aflita demais?!🫣🤔🫢🤭🤗
Somehow I have always thought that such dangerous kind of sports are a stupidity to practice them.... boxing is another example..... For not any reasons I will encourage my children to do that
Yes but thats the risks they take because they enjoy it so much.. love.the bravery and would be proud to call my daughter or son a gymnast Honestly the sport is beautiful what the human body can do .
Tellement dangereux la gym Trop de gymnastes se sont retrouvées para ou tétra à la suite d'une chute de ce genre Elle a eu de la chance elle aurait pu se retrouver paralysée 🙏
Women are always trying to be noticed. Also, during emergencies, especially when someone else is hurt, you see a lot of virtue signaling. These days hysterical crying and hugging strangers.
