It is also important to aim away from concrete or objects that can stab the world. To finish a fall, it is best to roll at the side into a call as this will spread the impact to reduce injury and stop rolling further. Other tips include:
- When falling from a great height, you can swing the arms sideways to direct the fall.
- Twisting shoulders can help to protect the head.
- Bent knees and feet down will help cushion a fall even further.
- Try to fall on the part of the body with the most meat, such as the back end or thighs.
