Safety First, But….

When it comes to wrestling, Rachel is as skilled as they come. Safety is just about her first concern—right after kicking butt, of course! But like any physical activity that involves flying through the air,  And she always came back! injuries can happen and Rachel has seen her fair share.

For Rachel’s “Secret” video we created a damage chart of all the memorable hits she’s taken, and though that scene ended up on the cutting room floor, we still thought the illustration would be fun to share with you.

Some of Rachel’s injuries have included separating both shoulders, losing both of her ACLs, spraining an ankle in four places, and dislocating a pinkie finger. And you thought wrestling wasn’t “real”!

[Our drawing is actually based on a woman from another very famous scientific illustration. Do you recognize her? Post a comment below if you do; if no one gets it in a few days we’ll post the answer!]
