As someone who has had this happen to him, I am pleased to say I am not a pole vaulter.

Is there something you are supposed to do to avoid this happening in the first place or do you just cross your fingers every time and hope it doesn't? Because it looks like something that would happen a lot.

You don't even think about it. If you do you mess up a more serious portion of the vault (take off) and get much more badly injured.

Generally you get rejected and land in the box, or shot down the runway, there are plenty of videos on youtube.

But this doesn't usually come near happening on a good jump.

Ahh, thank you. At first I was like "whaa?" but as soon as I saw his name, it all came back... with the daughter he knocked up with her own siblingchildren and whatnot.

Jesus christ a pole vault being violently shoved up your ass is never pleasurable.

I keep watching it hoping to see more of the outcome, then realize its a gif, see it start over, and hope to see more of the outcome. Vicious cycle.

Pole vaulting seems so difficult I'm more surprised when it doesn't go badly
