Dancing with the Stars 2009 and the injuries

Dancing with the Stars is all over and the winner has been chosen but there have been some injuries along the way. We have had Gilles Marini with a separated shoulder, Steve-O nearly quitting due to an old back injury and even Melissa Rycroft cracked a rib in the show.

According to examiner.com, these stars should not have been dancing. Steve Wozniak pulled a hamstring, so the last thing he should have been doing was hitting the dance floor. And Melissa must have been on major painkillers to keep dancing with a cracked rib.

Maybe the injuries have been exaggerated in the press for excitement sake, but it still goes on. At the beginning of the show Jewel had to quit as she had a fractured tibia in both legs. You wouldn’t think that just a simple thing like dancing would cause so much injury.
