Watching gymnastics is the most stressful thing on the planet. I tell myself I love it, but then when I watch I do nothing but freak out the whole time in fear that the poor people on the dangerous equipment are going to hurt themselves. Case in point: the other day one of the women gymnasts on the American team flipped around the uneven bars, missed the all important grab, and, no joke, landed right on her face. HER FACE!
This is why I play videogames. No chance of serious injury.
