Well, let's admit it... compared to gymnasts, we normal folk probably have the worst posture and balancing skills ever, and we would have never survived this epic moment. 

Competing for the first time at the national championships, 16-year-old gymnast Jordan Chiles almost fell during a balance-beam routine, and her super-human save will give you instant chills!
