DiD she kick the pole?
The pole broke around the lower 1/3 if it was 34" area that would be a pole that had fallen without being caught and the top of the box lid hit and dinged the pole so it broke in a subsiquent jump.

IN the slow move it looks also like she might have kicked the pole?
I hate to see any brand pole break.
I love the PV, it is in my DNA
