The hardest part of doing a back handspring is getting over your fear of doing them! Get your confidence up! I suggest you join a gymnastics class where you will learn the proper technique and you don't hurt yourself. If you insist on doing it on your trampoline, then make sure people are out there supervising so you don't get hurt.
Some tips for your back handspring:
-Keep your arms tight and by your ears.
-Keep your back arched.
-Keep rotating through your whole back handspring; don't make it choppy.
-Push off of your hands.
By keeping your arms by your ears and your back arched, it will prevent you to fall on your back. Make sure you keep moving and don't stop half-way. Good luck!

Don't be afraid trust me the minute you built up the courage to do it and not be afraid you'll get it. If you land on your back that means instead of jumping backwards you jumped up. When you jump lock your arms so you can support your body in the air. If this doesn't help go to youtube.com and type in how to do a back handspring and they have a video to help you learn how to do one:)

I don't blame you for being scared! You should take a Gymnastics class where they teach you to do that it's just a little risky to do it on your trampoline

Do some of these drills. then get into a class. You can seriously injure yourself if you don't have a properly trained spotter.
