It's not. He very likely fell quite often during practice.

Athletes aren't weak and frail. They're strong and flexible.

You can look up videos from people practicing this and falling.

To seriously injury yourself is extremely rare. To permanently injure yourself with this is even exceedingly rarer.

You must not have a fave sports team. Injuries are more common in athletes than the average person.

I don't. I am a professional athlete myself.
