about two weeks ago I straddled the beam on a side aerial. well I guess it was more of a butt slide It was on a friday before a meet. I was like great! lol I had hit my butt, my hamstring, my shin, and hurt my thumb. lol my shin was all bruised up. Luckily my aerial is right before my dismount. so I just got back up and did my dismount. I was just laughing through it because before my fall my routine was like really good. with the fall my coach judged me at about a 9.35.
yeah i'm pretty sure we've all done it i know i have always on leaps though. once a teammate of mine did it on a hitch kick r/o combo, but she didn't get to the r/o.

I kind of did once on a regular leap (haven't ever done it on a switch leap) but I basically caught myself. I was an optional at the time too so I have no idea what the heck I was doing. I've split the beam on other things though, flight series mainly. I had a mark on my leg that was visible for like a year after missing my hand on a BHS series.
At a meet once we saw a girl do it and since her momentum was still going forward she rolled forward and smacked her face pretty hard on the beam - talk about adding insult to injury
