Marital arts tip DON"T land on your hands, fastest way to break them or your wrists. if you are falling forward, forearms up, palms flat land from your elbow to your palm as flat as you can so you have more surface area to distribute the weight. Preferably a roll is better because you are transferring all of your momentum through your body and dissipating it as you come out of the roll.

If you watch wrestlers when they fall especially on their backs you'll see most slap their arms out and literally slapping the floor. Yet again its transferring your weight to more surface area so that it is not concentrated in one area. Arms will hurt, hands might sting, but that is better than your back feeling like it broke or is about to break. Do it right and most of the impact is absorbed by your arms, leaving your back just fine. Allowing you to continue to function. lol believe me i've done it wrong plenty of times in learning to do it right.

the pain is almost paralyzing and can knock your breath out, but once you get it down. at one point I could evne flip over on concrete, yeah arm hurt, but the rest of my body ... just fine. :)

As he demonstrated with jumping up and down if you bend your knees, and if you've fallen from a greater height its even better to let the energy carry you down and you roll backward into a back fall slapping your arms as I talked about earlier.

If you are falling forward, if you can turn it into a side fall like he sort of showed and you roll down your side slapping your arm at the end. yet again all the energy is disputed through out the parts that hit and shooting out your arm and hand leaving your body to only absorb a much smaller part of all that energy.
