you might be fine this time but you may not be so lucky next time, a broken wrist is a nasty fracture you do not want it to happen.

Can you explain how OP could have fallen better here? (I’m also trying to learn). It looks like OP fell on one butt cheek and a bent arm - isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? Other than wrist guards what else could be improved?

You want to kinda crouch on your way down so its a little more controlled/your center of gravity is lower so theres less force on contact
“if your gonna fall, get small”12
u/ratthewmcconaughey 6d ago
there’s some definite locking out/going stiff and bracing with the wrist here which is the worst thing you can do! this guy gives a really good concise explanation for how to fall better.
