Football players hit the ground hard, time after time, but they rarely break their arms.
Yet, when the average person falls just once, it's not unusual for him or her to suffer a broken arm. One would wonder: Why is that?
Football players, acrobats and paratroopers know how to fall correctly. They don't resist when they know they are going down. They relax, go limp, and try to roll as they ease themselves down with arms bent. The bent arms are important.
If a person hits the ground with arms stiffened, a break is likely because the arms will take the full shock of the fall.
Plan to fall correctly, and you could avoid a tough break!
