Coaches should do a better job of simulating the competition landing in training.
The best I’ve ever seen was T&T coach Tammy Stephenson. She trained landings on to very high, very soft surfaces for most of the year. Prior to a competition she alternated layers of matting stiffened with sheets of plywood.

warm-up Vault landing with FLYSPRING
To safely warm-up before doing the VERY dangerous landing in competition, many male gymnasts use a flyspring.
Great idea. I’ve seen some women do the same warming-up Kasamatsu vaults, including Ellie Black.
