Starly had a minor whiplash (landing a tramp front sault on her feet a little hard but keeping it secret from coach so aggravating it to serious injury by the end of the night) in January this year - which caused huge incapacity right up until May. And of course she hurt her neck badly in August (scary footage amongst our earliest you tube posts) but recovered astonishingly quickly from that one.
