| Mar 31, 2020 at 18:53 | comment | added | Sean Duggan♦ | There is the interesting question of whether the injuries were due to physical impingement, or her body resisting the split, but frankly, I see that as a semantic point with the same result of physical injury. | |

She said that it could possibly fracture the pelvic system and reproductive organs as well". I don't know about you, but that's a hard pass for me. | |

| Mar 31, 2020 at 12:42 | comment | added | Dave Liepmann | "there is no physiological reason why everyone cannot do a split" — This is not precisely the claim. Thomas Kurz claims that anyone who is able to make a 90 degree angle with one leg at a time has proved they do not have muscle, ligament, or bone structure preventing them from developing a side split. | |
