Makes sense...

So, I'm assuming that most of the high school population here (at least) knows about the websites where you can type in your name and it comes out with crazy facts including it. I typed "pole vaulters" into one of them that my friend found and thought that one of the "facts" was particularly fitting:

Tradition allows women to propose to pole vaulters only during leap years!

Try it and see if you can come up with anything funnier

The condom - originally made from pole vaulters - was invented in the early 1500s.

yay we made sex safe! i always knew all the dirty innuendo tied to vaulting had positive roots

Pole vaulters are actually a vegetable, not a fruit.

Well now if someone asks what polevault is, I can tell them it's a vegetable.

innuendo

In-your-endo!

Pole-vaulters can jump up to sixteen times their own height.

ahah! We're nowhere near the possible limit!

If you drop Pole Vaulting from more than three metres above ground level, they will always land feet-first.

hmmm sometimes i think this one fails

informative and amusing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_vault

However if the pole breaks during the execution of a vault, the competitor will be allowed another attempt, assuming they can still walk.

...the vaulter's main concern is making sure that his arms, face and any other appendages do not knock the bar off as he goes over.

The pole vault is exciting to watch because of the extreme heights reached by competitors, and the inherent danger of the activity, two elements which combine to make it popular with spectators.

You are obviously not familiar with the So Cal tradition that states all vaulters must vault nude (spikes are allowed) on the eve of their wedding.

I believe Borya Celentano has the nude WR with 5.10m (16-8 3/4). This was a nude jump just for fun, not prior to a wedding.

I guess not...my family moved up to NorCal when I was 2 (a little early to be vaulting).

Thanks for clearing that one up, achtung
