I was a cheer practice and we were working on our tumbling (like the floor routine of gymnastics). My coach told me to push off the ground more in part of my tumbling, so I planned on doing that. This picture was taken when I was starting the skill, a roundoff back handspring. I pushed off the ground more during the middle of my roundoff, like my coach told me, and suddenly, I felt like I was flying backward. Well, I never expected NEARLY that much power to come from it, so rather than going into the back handspring, like planned, I fell backward and skid a few feet further back. I hit my head on the ground and thoroughly embarrassed myself, but I only ended up with a bruised back, thankfully walking away without a concussion.
