Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The balance beam seems a recipe for major injury. Women's disturbs me way more than men's, for that reason.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

...and my point, I guess, was that people think a lot of things about gymnastics, but not that it's overly dangerous, I think. Edit: Yeah, it was the beam that was the freakiest.

I wish I had a snack right now. But not enough to do anything about it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Looks like he gets wet and takes his shirt off for no good reason in this one too
So exactly like the first then?

I can live with that.

I dunno. You didn't have that far to fall.

The vault, on the other hand, scary, scary thing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My food is not here yet, even though I ordered a long time ago. I wish this wasn't true.

Also, I got my eyebrows dyed today. it was weird.

Think the first merged with The Pacifier, if the preview is anything to go by.

Happy Birthday Sarameg!

For the first time in my life I chewed out a waiter for bad service right there in the restaurant. Dude better be really glad he came back to deliver the check (after leaving me unattended for over 35 minutes) while his manager was busy elsewhere.

Anyway, the growing list of possibly-deadly sports and other physical activities just confirms my aversion to all of them. It's very safe here on the sofa!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Sure it is. Just ask Gud.

But it just seems so much more likely, plus you have the nice corners to bounce your head (or groin) off of on your way down. Vaulters are already planning to hit the ground, so it's less a tweak of the scheduling.

Of course, I have no idea where most injuries happen -- but my time on the beam was more fraught with tension than my time vaulting.

Crappy as I was at both of them.

I was always afraid of slamming into the horse.
