    Maybe they were never meant to talk that particular kind of physical stress to begin with. Maybe nobody's were?

    I see she has requested that people stop sharing the video saying "My pain is not your entertainment". While I get her point she put her routine out there for good or bad by being part of big time sports. It's trainwreck syndrome , you can't look away. The announcers didn't seem top realize how serious it was for a bit but I don't know how they missed it.

    No one's ligaments can take that kind of stress - it was the awkward angle of her landing. Had she just fallen backwards, she would have saved her knees.
