We have been following this story here in CT... a beautiful young lady gone way too soon. Condolences to all her family & friends. Brings home in double measure how dangerous these sports can be for all their beauty, skill and athleticism. .. so so sorry..

So sad, but there are many sports with high incidents of injuries and even deaths....100,000 in this case according to the story. Look at what the incredible Simone Biles can do....one small mis step and she lands on her head. Its a choice after all if we participate in dangerous activities. I have cheated death for 54 years of motorcycle riding. But I know the risks...if I am injured or killed, its on me...no complaints here......I just hope coaches out there make sure that minors and their parents know what the odds are for any given sport.
