life:

Sometimes the world is in perfect balance. Other times, things go terribly, horribly, incredibly, violently wrong. Here, a tribute to those times.
OUCH! — People Falling Down. Hard.
life:

Movement. Emotion. In sports, both factors are constantly in flux, making the role of — and the challenge faced by — the photographer something of a contradiction: How to capture, freeze, distill that fluid intensity in one signature image?
Over the decades, LIFE photographers embraced that contradiction, and time after time emerged with pictures that illuminated, delighted, and thrilled the magazine’s millions of readers.
Pictured: In this photograph by George Silk, 14-year-old diver Kathy Flicker’s perfect 10-point entry into the waters of a pool at Princeton University’s Dillion Gym. Silk lowered the water level and set up a half-dozen flash units to get this shot.
