Discussion

I'm sorry, "fell/dived"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.126.184.85 (talk) 05:32, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Does the "impact on science" have anything at all to do with horse diving? That sounds more like a random trivia subject, not a subject that has a place on wikipedia. Further more, it's mainly related to the measuring project, not to the horse diving.Student342 (talk) 16:50, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New discussion

Renamed the "science" section, which is amusing and relevant to the diving events there, the sources check out. Good example of bad science. Added in the objected-to EL as body text. Article meets NPOV by discussing both the event and the concerns with it. Montanabw ^(talk) 01:58, 26 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

High diving causing blindness?

This article says "In 1931, Sonora was blinded by retinal detachment, due to hitting the water off balance with her eyes open, while diving her horse, Red Lips", which appears to be based upon the page Sonora Webster Carver. That article also says "In 1931, Sonora was blinded by retinal detachment, due to hitting the water off balance with her eyes open, while diving her horse, Red Lips" but the source cited[1] only says "It is clear that her sister's loss of sight from detached retinas was due to one bad blow or a number of blows" -- a medical conclusion made by a newspaper reporter, supposedly based upon an interview with Sonora's sister 66 years later, but suspiciously similar to what was depicted in a 1991 movie Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken that (according to her sister) Sonora said wasn't so truthful about the facts. If someone has access to Sonora's 1961 autobiography A Girl and Five Brave Horses we might find a better source. When Sonora died in 2003 the AP repeated the claim made in the 1007 NYT article.[2] --Guy Macon Alternate Account (talk) 06:22, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
