width of Horizontal Bar mats

Nathan Gafuik was competing H Bar.

On a Stalder Rybalko one hand slipped. He fell, landing hard on the red safety edge matting.

Horizontal Bar mats

Mats of this width were only introduced at Canadian Championships two years ago.

Formerly they were only as wide as the support standards.

Thank Gymnova for bringing such wide landing mats.

Curse FIG MTC for not devaluing Rybalko this Code. It’s obvious that those elements are overused, poorly executed and very dangerous. 😦
