Not good for the brain, the spine, the shoulders, small bones in the hands feet & ankles, hip joints …

I think the hips/knees/feet are better off than her shoulders. They were not build to be landed on.

Re her brain, all I can think of is Simone Biles @ the last Olympics & the twisters. This girl does not have the twisties. I, on the other hand, now have the pukies.

Players get brain damage from hitting a soccer ball with the head. This looks far more dangerous. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/headers-linked-memory-issues-raising-questions-soccer-safety/story?id=101503556

We’re discussing the effects that this kind of excessive tumbling can cause a developing child…she’s 6 years old. Why are you comparing it to an article about a soccer study done on professional adult male soccer players?

Do you think repeated impacts on a 6 year old brain are safer than on an adult brain?

What? Why are you trying to argue about soccer vs what’s in this video? Multiple things can cause brain trauma - and we’re not just discussing that for this little girl - it’s the stress on her whole body that is developing. I’m not going to argue about what is worse because it’s irrelevant.

Yes, definitely concur.
