Stumbling in stilettos.

I, along with a billion other people, watched Miss USA stumble and fall the other night. I felt terribly for her and was impressed when she got right back up and started a round of applause. But there is a more bothersome aspect to the ‘fall’ and that is why those contestants are required (?) to wear high high heels to compete (not to mention the whole bathing suit category).
What do you think?
