is it safe to do a backflip? are there any ways to do it yourself?

Question

i saw this tutorial and im wondering if i should try it, i wonder if there could be any injuries that could happen if i do it wrong. Again please don't type stupid sarcastic comments!

Answer 1

a backflip is safe enough if attempted seriously and easy to do if you know what you're doing. most people are physically capable of doing a backflip but then again most people are not mentally capable of doing one. don't try doing a backflip just cause you saw a tutorial. unless you do like martial arts or gymnastics. you can attempt a backflip on your own but i strongly advise you to get a spotter. plus having a spotter will be much easier learning it. biggest thing, dont fool around with the backtuck and dont break your neck

Answer 2

Then don't write stupid questions. Of course there could be injuries if you do it wrong, especially if you try this by yourself. Get some help

Answer 3

I recommend practicing in the safety of a well-padded area. Many people are self-taught - assuming they can pull it off at all Yes, you can get badly injured; it isn't common especially in the right setting and with expert supervision, but accidents are always possible.

Answer 4

Being a cheerleader...and seeing many failed backhandsprings...your chances of breaking ur neck are slim...but you can definitely injure yourself severly!! If you want to attempt it...do it on a mat or trampoline with a spot.

Good Luck!
