She does this at a all star gym which focuses on safety first. They use spring boards and mats that gymnasts use, and train on trampolines and sponge wedges. If she is hurt, she needs Dr notes to play. Staff is first aid USASF certified (the governing board that put out safety regs.). These people take extreme precaution to ensure my child will not only walk off the floor, but skip and smile. See what you child is doing. Ask questions, and if it doesn't feel right, say no. It took 2 years to find a gym I approved, and I'm glad I did. My daughter is one of those “flying, twirling” flyers. She does this at a all star gym which focuses on safety first.
