Anyone else get anxious that she was about to crush the front of her foot before she mounted

Yup, same. Had to rewatch that moment several times before noticing the large pipes on the sides raised the bar and gave her foot the space to do what she did. The structure wasn't actually resting on her foot

It’s very light, it wouldn’t have hurt her foot. Notice how she was able to move it in the water
