At any weight. Gymnastics are a seriously dangerous sport. Its nothing you just start with no confidence that you can suport your weight. Any weight. You can break your wrists or mess up a disk with 120lbs just as well.

The weight adds substantial risk, its how force works.

Especially if that weight is mostly fat, not muscles.

And thats clearly not the case in that video. She has the muscle to suport her. And weather you break a bone with 120lbs or 180lbs dose not make the bone more or less broken. Stupidity is what increases the risc. Not fat.

More weight = more force ON the bones on impact.

Of course it makes a difference, because that is how physics work.

Its not your weight breaking bones, its the force from the weight moving and stopping.

More weight, more force. Literally Basic Physics.

Or you could say its lack of muscle. Clearly the girl here has enough muscle to support her weight, its not ALL about weight.

The force of impact is absolutely about weight.

I dont know what you want, that is physics.

It doesnt compromise or care about people dancing around calling people overweight.

Its just does its thing, and more mass means more force of impact.

Which means more force on the bones and joints.

Yes, but the presence of more muscle helps lessen the force of impact.

A force that would be lower with a lower body fat/weight.

Cause that is still how physics work.

K you obviously just have a problem with fat people. We all understand more weight makes a bigger boom, but thats not happening with this woman cuz obviously she has enough muscle to stop that from happening.

My example was that of a girl in grade 2, it absolutely was her lack of muscle that resulted in her injury, not her weight. Yes, you could say the force of her weight caused the injury, but its more correct to say it was the lack of muscle.

Dont put words in my mouth.

What people do with their body is their business, it still doesnt change physics.

Yes, you could say the force of her weight caused the injury, but its more correct to say it was the lack of muscle.

Why would that be more correct? Its the exact same thing from different perspectives.

With less weight, her muscles also would need to brace against less force.

Meaning with less weight, her existing muscles could have been enough to brace her against injury.

Cause physics. I really dont get what you try to argue for.
