In response to "The banned "Dead Loop" of Olga Korbut, 1972. It was the first and last time the trick was documented. -- (link)" by Beaker

That whole routine is like the Australia of bars - multiple ways it could kill you.

I had to read the description to find out that the final flip wasn't the banned move.

Responses:

It’s the resting on bar rolling flip, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 15:28 9
- Yes. It's the backflip off the top bar that's the "death loop." -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 15:31 8
  - What’s the time stamp? -- nm - The Allfather Oct 20, 15:43 1
    - :08 apparently. Originally 0:16 looked to me like the most dangerous move before the dismount. -- nm* - Max Oct 20, 15:44
  - That? That’s banned? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 15:43 5
    - Apparently it's very hard to spot the bar and when they miss they fall far and hard or they hit the bar. It's very dangerous. -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 15:53 2
      - Seems stupid to me given you got double backward flip blind releases but this is too dangerous. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 15:58
      - "Don't do that move! Is there a bar?? You don't know!!" -- nm - Balancy Quest Oct 20, 15:56
    - It’s the standing on the bar that’s dangerous -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 15:48
    - It doesn't look so bad when they catch the bar, but ... -- nm - rollo Oct 20, 15:47
