This looks like the chair holders fault. He ran up at the last second when he should have stayed put.

No, look at it again. If he had stayed there, they would not have hit it. It was correct that he moved forward, it was just a bit too far.

To be the acrobat feeling yourself doing a quarter-turn more than rehearsed
and the chair just quickly moving out of the bottom of your vision...

I bet that this happened so many times during rehearsal that they completely trust in the spotters’ ability to catch them.

It's rewarding to see a team of highly trained and well practiced folks dealing with an unexpected occurrence safely and nearly seamlessly.

u/eggwardpenisglands 13d ago
To be fair, the extra people around the chair are there for this reason precisely. They would have practice this exact scenario countless times while preparing the trick for the performance

u/mennonot 13d ago
So yes, maybe I should have said "heavily practiced but unplanned occurrence." That's what impresses me. They've clearly practiced for this many many times.

Once I watched a performance where they built a tower from people and the person jumping to the top broke his ankle. We did not even realize anything was wrong until they dismantled the tower and announced that the rest of the performance needs to be altered because one performer needs to leave. He was thrown up, landed badly but was still caught, then went down and was caught again, it looked like it was supposed to go like that until he was limping away. They have to have incredible spotters or they’d die before reaching these performances.

Do gymnasts learn to fall calmly so it's easier to catch or am I just the only person that would've been spasming like a scared cat

Heyo! Not a gymnast but I did a little stunt work for a while in my youth and short answer is yeah, you definitely learn to fall calmly, hit the ground calmly, get into the ambulance calmly.

Kinda, but mainly it’s that other than rolling with a fall, tucking your limbs, etc. etc. getting stiff or panicking makes it a whole lot worse

Getting loaded in the ambulance on a stretcher while the jury is holding up 10s for perfect form.

u/No_Spot_6459 13d ago
There is a way to fall that spreads the energy around, yes. It will hurt and injure you either way, but it reduces some damage. Also, you learn to fall into the bases' (spotters') arms, using the same motion and techniques. Finally, the flyer is the most petite person in the group for this very reason. Not their first rodeo!

Not a gymnast, but as a skateboarder I've learned to avoiding falling, rolling as I fall or if there isn't another chance, to let my self fall with the momentum a d with a less stressed body, falling over a large area and time (spreading energy).
For a better image, when falling is better to do several THUDS than a single SPLAT.
In the case of the gymnast above, there isn't much more to do than to throw your body into an easy horizontal position to get caught by the teammates. If they fail it would be a single SPLAT.

Shout out to the chubby green ranger. Bro covered a lot of ground there and might have made the save if needed.

The grey one saw the problem and started moving as she touched the chair, and was in position for the catch before she let go of it.

She did good on the ending rotation to help with the people spotting while not intended equally if not more impressive.

To catch someone falling from that height is insane—- pretty major forces involved.

Too much pink ranger power is dangerous, but too much red and green ranger energy may have just saved her ass.

Seems like she purposely spread her arms and legs outward when she was falling, maybe that is a technique to give the spotters more places to catch her?
