But most assist from about 45 degrees past vertical (just past half a salto) 'What if the catchers miss?' that is like saying 'what if the top overrotates?' or 'what if the tumbler takes off awkardly?' or 'what if the gymnast lets go of the bars too early?' All of these errors could be tragic but hopefully enough practice goes in to ensure that all members of the group are well-prepared and on their game.

Is this a mistake, or is it proper technique to enable a safe landing / catch? Some of those triples seem somewhat underrotated.
