Originally posted by Maximus:
A proper breakfall would be a sidefall where you bend at the knees as you go down, spreading the impact over space and time. Throw your arm out high and slap the ground. Your head, knees, and tailbone should never touch the ground.
Technically speaking, in karate, judo, jujitsu, and aikido, the fall is called "Yoko-sutemi-tani-otoshi" or "Valley Drop."

quote:Ug... OK, I will not wear kneepads and will try my hardest to fall backwards to avoid the knees altogether.
However, they all agree that knee pads and a knee drop are the fastest way to injure yourself from even the lowest of stilts.

I have heard that one too Knoxious.
Okay, so what I did is incite a HUGE debate. I am on another performance board that deals with circus peeps primarily, so I asked what they thought on this whole falling thing. WOW! They are currently debating between this sit back falling thing, and a valley drop.
