When I was in middle school I had a soccer coach that made us do falling drills over and over again. You know, reach out an arm but using it to absorb the fall, tucking it in and rolling out on to the shoulder and then all the way around. He thought us to never stiff arm an impact the way so many beginner snowboarders do resulting in wrist and arm breaks.
That coaching has saved my ass so many times over the years.
If there's any new-is parents reading this teach your kids the same. It's huge. You can't get really good at these sorts of higher risk activities unless you really know how to fall. It's am invaluable skill honestly.
