Why the hell didn't their guide line stop it spinning. Imagine being in that. Would certainly forget your injury.

Apparently NASA were impressed with her and are now training her to go in to space.

I like the way it takes two sombre faced newscasters to point at her and say "Look it's spinning".

Trivia note: I live about 10 miles away from that mountain.
It's original long standing name was Squaw Peak and everyone in Phoenix knew it by that name.
During the Iraq conflicts, a female US soldier, Lori Piestewa was killed.
Since she was the first female soldier to be killed and was from Arizona, our state governor (who just happened to be a woman) decided to rename the peak in her honour.
It was very controversial and there have been many calls for the mountain to be renamed back to its original name.
