  • Mindy's martial arts training gives her more than double the range of motion of an average human being.
  • So, I mean, she's repositioning her legs, but the only way she's moving is with her arms.
  • I mean, her arms are doing all the work.
  • Look at that, how low she is.
  • When this superhuman flexibility is combined with her extraordinary sense of balance, it allows Mindy to squeeze through spaces too tight for a normal person.
  • And there's one more skill shared by ninja and great athletes throughout the centuries.
  • It's called kinesthetic awareness, a precise knowledge of where every part of her body is located as it travels through space.
  • Mind and body working in perfect harmony.
  • Okay, she's getting ready to come out.
  • I think she's real close to the edge here.
  • Wow.
  • Great job, Mindy.
  • That was awesome.
  • I am...
  • I am truly impressed.
  • I mean, look at all the different lasers in here, and you didn't hit any of them.
  • I just used the method of movement that I felt would be the quickest and safest route for me, and I think it worked.
  • Mindy beat the clock without tripping a single beam.
  • But how did she do it?
  • A look inside her body reveals the secrets of her stealth.
  • In her very first move, Mindy bends her spine backwards at 70 degrees extension.
  • A normal person can barely achieve 30 degrees extension.
  • When Mindy goes into the splits, her right hip abduction reaches 117 degrees, while her left hip hits 100 degrees.
  • Normal passive hip abduction is 45 to 50 degrees.
  • In her final move, a backflip over the laser beam, Mindy's spine angle again reaches 70 degrees extension, a number usually only seen in Olympic gymnasts.
  • Her mind and body work in perfect harmony, planning and executing her escape.
