    I wonder how many ribs he broke?

    Like, ALL of them? Or more than that?

    Luckily the pommel horse has a large cross section, so the force would be fairly distributed. Had to at least bruise or crack a few though. I'd say the most likely break would be his sternum.

    He bruised the shit out of his chest, apparently
    SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Brian Meeker, the National Sports Festival's all-around gymnastics champion, was hospitalized overnight with minor injuries after slamming chest-first into the long horse on a vaulting attempt Tuesday.

    After taking X-rays and an electrocardiogram of Meeker, 21, of Edina, Minn., doctors at Crouse-Irving Memorial Hospital said the youth had suffered only minor swelling of the chest and neck.

    Meeker was attempting his second vault in the individual events competition when he slammed his chest into the edge of the padded horse the gymnasts vault over. He was among the leaders in the vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar when he was forced out of the competition.

    'He's fine, he's just got a little bit of swelling,' said West squad gymnastics coach Rusty Mitchell. 'There was no severe damage and he will be back in full swing in a few weeks.'


    haha, 39 years later he seems to have a good humor about it

    Quiet, you fools! Tumbleweeds are our good peaceful neighbors, and I won't have a word spoken against them.

    In case they hear you.

    Yeah, I don't really get it either. Wave still has plenty of churning energy after it crashes behind you.

    Sometimes you do. Big waves like that can keep you under for like two minutes, and if it's a rocky bottom you might get conked on the head.

    of all the many stupid things I've done, probably the closest I've actually been to death was taking a near-neck-breaking header from a large wave.
    I really should not have walked away from that.
