Some of my kids are getting ready to start working on Jaegers on bar (front tuck/straddle/pike and recatch the bar). If they miss over something besides the pit, of course, they will go down face-first.
What's the best way to land such a crash? I can't allow any of my kids to try the skill until I can teach them how to avoid injury if they crash it. I never learned the skill, and never really learned proper falling technique for that sort of crash. From what I've seen, most people tend to land as flat as possible, but are there any other details I should know? Arm position, head position, knee/leg position, etc?
