I had a buddy who broke his pole back in 11th grade and fell on his head in the box. He got realy hurt. But was back the next week ready to shred!

This vid makes me proud to be a pole vaulter.

I recently had a traumatic brain injury and Skull fracture from missing the mats and landing on my head while vaulting. Doctors say I can't vault again for 3 months, but I can't wait!
