Women Back Walkovers

[dogluver5645]

I've been reading a lot about gymnasts getting stress fractures from doing back walkovers. I've never had back pain due to back walkovers but I'm kinda freaking out now! Can someone explain what the correct way to do a back walkover is in order to prevent stress fractures??

I would like to know this too

In my gym you have to put one leg up when you do the back walkover... I think it helps?
