Overview

  • Following her June 28 slip in Italy, Carlson withdrew from the next stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series to focus on recovery.
  • On July 1 she shared slow-motion footage showing a mis-measured run-up that sent her toes past the platform’s edge.
  • The 26-year-old Canadian confirmed she escaped with only a massive foot bruise and no other serious injuries.
  • Carlson said her quick reflexes allowed her to rotate and land feet-first, preventing a more severe outcome.
  • She intends to apply lessons from the incident by refining her takeoff technique before rejoining the series.
