paralyzed on double front

This is Aref from Yemen.

He was put in this chair 8yrs prior after a bad fall.

I guessed the skill was double front. Correct. He was doing a skill easy for him, double front from spring board on to a good crash mat. It only takes one over-rotation. Be very, very careful when training multiple fronts. They are by far the most dangerous acrobatic skill.

Aref is doing well in 2013, working with the Yemeni Olympic Committee.

A similar skill paralyzed Taylor Lindsay-Noel IIRC. Thought it might be of interest that she appeared on a show on the Oprah Network, talking about happiness – January 23 at 9:30pm
