That made her question the long-term sustainability of her sport.
That was one of the goals of this survey.
We asked what shape jumps they want to see at competitions.
Only 10 percent said their favorite jumps were step-downs, while 74 percent prefer the safer true tables.
We asked how many features they want to see in a course and the majority answered six to seven.
The most dramatic differences were found when comparing the course preferences and injury rates of men to women.
That means women feel most comfortable on jumps 20 percent smaller than men.
The majority of men had the opposite opinion, saying the jumps were typically on the small side.
This may be attributable to women being pushed further past their normal training limits in competition than men.
I strongly believe that there should be separate courses or takeoffs for men and women in competition.
I think it would be hugely beneficial to the future of our sport.
Female gymnasts compete in different events and use completely different equipment.
Female basketball players use a smaller ball and play shorter games.
Women play softball, not baseball.
Female skiers and snowboarders would progress their sports more quickly given a more suitable field on which to compete.
