People Shared Their Worst Experiences at the Beach and We Couldn’t Stop Laughing
What a Way to Land
Pole vaulting can be an interesting sport, but it can be equally dangerous. Since its introduction to the sporting world early in the 20th century, it has averaged an injury rate of 26 injuries per 100 athletes. This number is high considering the fact that the pole vaulters land on a thick mat of foam.
This photo has its own share of hilariousness. This Russian athlete was definitely not expecting to land in such an awkward position. Thankfully, the mat was there to cushion her from sustaining some serious neck injuries. Hopefully, she won; otherwise, this landing would have been for nothing.
