    Women Toe shoot fall?

    How should you fall if you miss a toe shoot? I know some people fall on their feet but I fall flat on my stomach and can’t change it so I want to know how to make that the least painful.. Are my legs supposed to be straight or bent? Any other tips on how to fall on stomach out of toe shoot?
