Just asked my son (collegiate gymnast) if he had seen the video. Said yep, all the college gymnasts in the country saw it, but it is "not uncommon."

that's great--I knew you followed gymnastics and that your kid was a gymnast, but I didn't realize he was competing at the collegiate level. Where does he go? (and no worries if you'd rather keep that private). When people ask if I was on the Stanford Gymnastics team, I tell them that I was a walk-on for all of 2 weeks before accepting that a team bus accident was going to be needed if I were ever to be of any use to the #1 team in the country (with 2 national champions). So I walked off and became a cheerleader instead, which is sooooo much easier on the body.

I'm still gonna maintain that any equipment failure, but especially a high bar breaking is extremely rare.
