Backwards Falling Tutorial
Today I talk about the lowest level backwards falling technique, also known as the butt fall. This technique is easy to master and extremely effective during a low velocity backwards fall. In future tutorials I will expand this backwards falling continuum with higher level techniques.
Need a mat?
I recommend learning these techniques either on a soft surface such as grass, or using a mat for safety. A few basic 2in mats I would recommend are the We Sell Mats 4ft x 6ft x 2in, We Sell Mats 4ft x 8ft x 2in, and We Sell Mats 4ft x 10ft x 2in. If you need a thicker mat for safety or comfort I recommend the Tumbl Trak 4ft x 8ft x 4in or the We Sell Mats 4ft x 8ft x 4in.
Thanks for watching the video, and learning a new skill that can help you and your patient/client in the future! What is the hardest part about this technique for you? Have you ever used a falling technique before to save yourself? Comment below and let me know.
Happy falling!
