Poor Jessica, that sounds like an awful fall! Was she conscious when they got her off the ice?

What a freak accident. Jessica hits Bryce in the eye with her elbow, he blacks out and could not catch her. I hope they both recover soon.

that sounds terrible. I can't help but wonder if she can skate with him without doubt. they have had several nasty accidents already.

I don't think there is a trust issue there. In all the fluff pieces I've seen they seem to have a wonderful and trusting relationship. In their last two big accidents they both made errors, not just one person. In the flying camel accident they both travelled and in this one she hit him in the eye and therefore he couldn't catch her. Wishing them all the best for next season!

Well then you would have to apply this thinking to almost every female pairs skater. The vast majority of them have been dropped or fallen hard to the ice from a lift. This is just part of the sport.

Well, these types of falls do go with the territory. I am sure they are both shaken up, but are both strong skaters in their own right and they do have a strong partnership. Pair skating is dangerous. I hope they recover soon and can put this behind them.
They have been having their personal problems this season, and it has affected their on-ice "chemistry" which doesn't seem to be there any more. Their trust in one another may have eroded a little as well.
I think these two have to find a way to re-establish a connection, even if it is only at a partnership (rather than a personal) level, and start over from there. They must be able to trust one another, or for them to continue to skate together would become too dangerous for both of them.
JMHO.

I've always found this pair scary because of some basic (lack of proper) technique issues. If I see a thread title "pairs accident" I would automatically think of them.
Also, apparently there are interpersonal trust issues as well (short hearsay version: they were a couple, split, she started dating a mutal friend and he reacted badly).
poor technique + lack of trust = disaster waiting to happen
I think they should call it a day and find new partners (and he needs to strenghthen up somewhat and they both need work on basic pairs technique).

^ If there really is a rift, maybe they should split up. But if they want to compete in Vancouver, I doubt that is an option for now.
Did anyone see a video of the accident? The news reports all say she fell while they were doing a triple twist during the Gala, but don't they usually perform a triple twist for competitions and only a double twist for exhibitions?

Yes, I saw it. It was quite eerie. The arena was very dark, and they were skating to some song which starts out, "When you try your best, but you don't succeed" The twist was the first real trick in the program. It was either a severely over rotated double or a severely underrotated triple.
