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!
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You didn't have that far to fall.
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.

If I only had a brain...
I permanently dislocated my perk. It was ugly. One butt-twitch too many, and whammo!

Our parents gave us with bows and arrows and guns that fired plastic discs semi-automatically. So the times where we decided to bare-knuckle box were steps down in armament.
