Point flyer (one of the ones with the gash in her head, I believe) went on. She was involved in the crash. I'm not sure if the girl with the torn ACL went on or not. (people already said this before I hit post, it was an easy mistake to make though with everyone running around the mat, no worries!) But I agree NEliteSteven , if the athlete feels well enough to go on, they will go on. If they don't, they will stop. If the athlete is on the ground and cannot get up, the EP will stop the music. If the athlete gets up to continue, they will let it go on. They had no idea how bad the incident was until the team got off the floor. They probably assumed the athlete was fine since she flew point and did all of her tumbling passes. If you saw someone get up from a collision and do all that, I doubt anyone would stop the music. You'd stop it until you saw blood, right? Until you saw how bad that injury actually is. Which is exactly what they did.
I think everyone is making a huge deal about this. People got hurt, they got the medical attention they required and they are/will be OK. The ones who couldn't go on removed themselves from the floor and the ones who thought they could go on, did. Does USASF need to re-evalute safety protocols? Probably. But this specific situation has been blown out of proportions. :chillpill:
If it is any other injury, I agree. However, when it comes to a possible head injury, I think that's where we can get in trouble. I wouldn't necessarily trust someone with a possible head injury to decide if she/he is able to continue performing.
