How To Fall Safely
Most people haven't a clue how to fall safely. They
stick their arms out to save themselves, and end up with broken
arms or collar bones.

The biggest danger is hitting your head, so if you fall
forwards you have to learn to roll, or else you take the whole
impact on your forearms.
Your hands should be palms down, but the fingers of the left
and right hands must be turned inwards, towards each other. (If
the fingers point outwards, you will break both
wrists.)
You can also hold both hands clenched into fists as you hit
the ground with your forearms.
If you want to know how to fall safely backwards, you need
strong neck muscles to keep your head from banging on the
concrete. You have to learn to keep your head tucked forward so
the chin presses against your chest.
That's how to fall safely on your back.
