The bar really doesn't hurt that bad once you get used to it. Also...if you bend the pole, it isn't a good idea to let go while its bending...I did that once and it hit me across the chest and it HURT. He shouldn't keep the pole on the ground while running down the runway...even when I first started I didn't do that. It slows your momentum. And the pole's all over the runway and screwing his vault up really bad. It is decently hard, but its more of how much practice it takes than how hard it is...It took me a month to get over 4'6" but in 2 seasons I got over 6' twice.
