Student dies after Backflip

Posted by 7Tiffanie on March 5, 2013 at 10:58am in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

A College freshman studentat Baylor university died Sunday after doing a back flip. Kevin Signo was rehearsing dances with the Filipino Students Association when he practiced a back flip and landed on his head! He landed on his forehead and suffered fatal spinal injury.

What do you guys think about this accident? I feel horrible for him! The Association shouldn't haven't even been doing backflips withouth practice or anything.

awww that's really tragic and sad. I bet everyone is mourning. It seemed so harmless at the time probably. I don't know if they were forcing him it was more of a choice

I feel horrible for him too. And also I think that they have to pay attention more when they are doing stuff like that

That's awful!! I wonder why they didn't have mats down for safety in case someone did fall. I feel so bad for his family and friends! He made a good decision in donating his organs and I hope this makes people think more before they start doing gymnastics without a mat.

That is terrible! I feel so bad for him. :( I don't think they should have been doing backflips if he was inexperienced though. That could have been his own mistake, not the Association's. I mean, things like this happen, granted not very often, but they happen and we can't really blame the Association. Nevertheless, I feel terrible for this guy and prayers go out to his family.

What happened to the whole "You must have a spotter when doing gymnastic type things?" This is very sad to think about! I feel sorry for his family who this was one of those "never expected it to happen" accidents!

That's horrible. I'm probably never going to try to do a backflip now.
