[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plus, at least half of the kids at our gym who get injured are hurt during PE, not gymnastics. [/quote]

I'll go ahead and call BS on this, unless everyone where you live drinks magical water that makes their bones brittle.  How many people here had P.E. all through elementary school, middle school, and at least one year of high school?

Now how many kids do you remember being "so injured" during PE that if affected their ability to do other things.  My answer...maybe there's one I forgot somewhere, but not usually.  If half the kids in your area are hurt during PE, there's something else wrong.[/quote]

I think she's saying, of the kids on the gymnastics team who have had injuries, about half those injuries came about through PE class, not at gymnastics. She's not saying that half the kids in her area have been injured at PE. So, if four kids on the gymnastics team had injuries over the course of the past year, two of them occurred during participation in PE.
