Poor girl, but it's a good thing she is already a girl. She gets back up with no problems, thankfully.

you are absolutely correct.
male gymnasts do not compete on the balance beam because of the potential of injury to the testicles although this myth is without basis.
Male gymnasts do perform on several other events, such as the pommel horse and parallel bars, that have the potential to cause significant injury to their lower bodies.
In addition, at the high school level in the United States, there have been several male gymnasts who have participated on girls' teams and have successfully competed on all events, including the balance beam.

I bet she has very sore bruising.
Maybe not as bad as a man would suffer but she will walk odd for a few days.

I think you have answered your own question. Imagine any man uncupped in that situation; maybe even protection would fail.
