It is political correctness I am afraid!

Sadly there are some pretty dreadful people in this world which is why there are policies in place that you can understand. Sometimes it is very difficult to correct a gymnast technically without a small adjustment that cant be verbally explained easily.

I had a pretty dreadful experience the other day with a person who had collapsed outside Tescos and the staff refused to do anything to help in case of touching this person in the wrong place and being sued. This reminded me of gymnastics. There are some dangerous movements in gymnastics that require support (more so in artistic gymnastics I appreciate). Do you leave a gymnast to injure themselves rather than touch them to prevent injury just in case you get sued? This is where political correctness has gone mad!
