[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I was SHOCKED to find out recently that a group of teenage competitive gymnasts did not know what penny drops were. I'm sure kids have always broken their arms on monkey bars, but I wonder if it's more common now that playtime is so sanitized that kids don't get any practice doing "dangerous" things and learning how to fall properly.[/quote] Ha, we definitely aren't ever allowed to teach those anymore. Part of me remembers the times we were allowed to do that in in class being the best ever, but the modern safety certified me cringes at the idea. Penny drops have been a no-no since basically right after I started gymnastics (still got a couple good years in at the tail end though). Although it's tradition at my gym for the team kids to do a probably even more dangerous version into the pit, so there's that.[/quote]
