Injuries in MAG Vault Competition

FIG MTC meeting minutes held 3-6 June 2024:

The MTC is concerned about the severity of injuries on the Vault.

The TC would like to study and define what other disciplines use for mats and what have their experiences been. For example, what is used in Double Mini trampoline?

Dr Han. will begin the process by reviewing the number and severity of injuries that have occurred.

The TC believes it is possible that changing or re-configuring the mats used on Vault may help reduce injuries. However scientific studies will need to be done.

Excellent vaulters use a number of different techniques.

For beginners, I recommend keeping the hands facing slightly towards one another. Fingers inward, so the elbows CAN bend. For safety.

For beginners, I recommend keeping the shoulders as stretched as possible.
