Yeah I personally didn't like the narative in the video but it was the only one I could find that shows pretty clearly her skills.
Most recent update I have found: http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2012/02/tip_drills_injuries_stripper_s.php Her friend says she was not drunk. The fall was from 35+ feet : O She was able to position herself to fall correctly. She has a lot of broken fractures and needs plastic surgery.
Falling correctly can sometimes literally be the difference between life and death. It's going to take her a while to come back from all her injuries, but at least she's alive.
This reminds me of when Jenyne Butterfly fell climbing across some ceiling beams at the Miss Pole Dance finals-- I remember thinking that those ceiling beams were likely slick with dirt/grime/grease. The move looks badass, but it's really inadvisable to climb on things that aren't specifically made/maintained for that! That said, I hope this woman recovers quickly.
The entire rigging for most comps are not there permanently. They also practice their routines on the entire set up prior to comp. The problem with Worlds was stage lighting and air conditioning. If you watch her entire routine that was not the only time she slipped (as well as many other performers). If it had not been for her circus training that could have been a lot worse for her. From what I understand she taught all of her workshops the next day as if nothing had happened.
jenyne fell also?! i never knew this but this did remind me of when she hung from the ceiling at the pole art show 2010 i think was the year, i agree, who knos what condition the rafters are in! dangerous!!
I did not realize she had done this at the Pole Art show also. The one in Zurich was in September of 2010...that was the one I thought you were referring to.
@Momma Bear, drunk she may not have been because of her tolerance level THIS TIME, but she was drinking, and she tweeted that she was right before she fell. She always drinks, as does many of the other strippers in KOD, and many of them are drunk while working. This happens all the time and I have seen it myself. Management needs to put a cap on this. I am a teacher and three of my former students ('06 graduates) are strippers there, as well, another former student is a bartender there. Unfortunately, the alcohol flows too freely in KOD to the patrons and workers. This is a horrible accident, but thank God it was not a tragedy instead.
@chemgoddess- I did mean the time in Zurich, and I can understand if it was air conditioning- I hate that!

That's sad, I hope she recovers quickly and fully. It's also sad to hear about the nasty comments directed at her elsewhere on the net. I feel similar to upandover. I'm not a fan of Tip Drill's performance style, I don't find it sexy, but I can appreciate her athleticism and I think it's a shame that clubs don't treat their dancers better.
Yes, she's super athletic. However, I have seen her perform and she is wayyyy over the top. Sitting and watching her perform makes you gasp and hold your breath. She performs as if there is a net undeneath her to catch her fall! I think that she has gotten so comfortable that she has forgotten how dangerous poling can be. She is supposed to be having her first surgery today. Again, Thank God she's okay.
Yea it all depends on your dancing style and your work environment. Its a hip hop/rap club and thats how the girls dance there. I'm a pole dancer who happens to be a stripper and at my club, i'm the highlight, the show stopper. All you hear from the D.J. is the amazing tricks i can do on the pole. Very respectful, no perverted comments at least not towards me. Its all about your dance style and how you carry yourself. When people approach me rather i'm in the club working or at a bar that happens to have a pole or something i can hang off of first thing that comes out their mouth is were you in gymnastics? So just saying not all strippers deal with that kind of behavior and I also hope that Tip Drill fully recovers and am so glad that she's still alive and breathing! 🥂

Someone needs to put a pole in her room so when polers visit and to help re-hab herself and the staff & maybe even raise money for her hospital bill by having non-stripping performances in their lobby/ food court. Even maybe organize a a flash pole at the hospital to raise money for her ...but I don't know how that would work but I know it can.
i don't know about rasing money for her.... she seems to be doing pretty well in the youtube video i saw where guys were sweeping her tips off the stage for her. she's doing much better than i am money wise....
I wish her all the best too. I read that rapper Plies is organizing a fundraiser - strip a thon and all the money thrown on stage will go to her medical bills

Does anyone know if there is any update on this?
wow what a drop, shes amazing. I wish her a quick recovery.
Here is another article http://www.ballerstatus.com/2012/02/23/miami-stripper-tip-drill-recovering-after-serious-fall-says-shes-retiring/#.T0g1ja78aeY It says she will retire from dancing and is expected to make a full recovery also her twitter name is included in case you want to see what she says directly

Very happy to hear she'll make a full recovery! 🥂
Glad she is doing better. :)
Oh my! I had no idea this thread was out!! I have been trying to find out her status for a while now! This saddens me. I pray that all is well. Comes to show that what we do is serious business.
Damn girl! Bet she'll make a full recovery and will return cuz the love of pole is so strong! Look at Aleathea who got in an accident and killed it in pole after, defying odds! Sending huggs + prayers!

I wanted to add that the liver damage she had was from the constant drinking no doubt or something else. I asked my Dr about thigh holds and the pole and he said that area is the abdomen and the liver is higher and it would not hurt it. Someone said that worried. Just wanted to tell you want I was told.
