If something happens that you can’t recover from, and you do fall, quickly turn and look at the spot where you’ll hit. This helps orient your body so you’re less likely to fall on your back helping avoid head, neck and spine injuries.

Shout and exhale as you fall. You can shout whatever comes to mind at the moment, but shout it, forcefully! This will alert others to the situation and may help keep you from getting the wind knocked out of you.
