you want to crumple to the ground and land on your flank, kinda like old man getting hit with football. the goal is to reduce the impact/distance you fall and hope it's on your flank/butt/safety gear. Safety gear you can trust is important, especially if you're street skating. I would never go out without a helmet, elbow guards, and knee guards*.

*Wrist guards are also required safety gear, but they're more a last-resort. If you catch yourself with your hands you will at best with guards injure your wrists. Without you're probably going to fracture if not break something. Maybe it's not a super serious injury once, but those injuries add up.

I have a couple friends that shattered their wrists while wearing guards, docs said it would been a compound fracture in both cases if they weren't wearing them, they're pretty good at keeping the bits of shattered bone roughly where they're supposed to be, which simplifies recovery.

Guards are incredibly important, just if you're falling correctly you won't use them. I've also fractured a wrist while using them, because I don't always fall right either despite my best intent.

"Falling correct" also assumes lots of variables are working in your favor, like cars or people not jumping right in front of you.

Huh!

I've stacked it on by bicycle twice in the last few years, both times broke my fall with my hands. The first time I didn't have safety gear there and got some cuts, and since then ride with gloves with gel in the palm. The second time, the gloves stopped my hands getting cut.

I don't know if the situation is different when falling from a bike, but maybe I was just lucky both times? :ohdear:

I’ve been doored/mirrored/tapped on the rear wheel/hosed with on bike a buncha times too and that’s a different situation since you’re kinda stuck falling at least the height of the bicycle and there is the additional risk of it landing on you. I and my scars don’t know that I do it the right way, but I know I can’t do it like I’m skating.

Sorry for the huge skate derail lol I just wanted a coffee

I learned to fall on inline skates after learning to skate as an adult and playing a bunch of roller hockey. I also spend a ton of time on bikes and have fallen plenty of times over the years, and have noticed that a lot of the skills in falling do actually transfer. If you're falling laterally (like if you fail to unclip from clipless pedals), you can kinda just lay your leg/hip into the ground and it's not too bad, though you are likely to get scraped up by your bike coming down on top of you. If you go over the bars, trying to take the blow to your torso and going into a roll is the way to go. I was actually in an accident just a month or two ago, where I went over the bars and walked away without a scrape and only some light bruising that I didn't even feel the next day. Sometimes it's just not really possible to untangle yourself from the bike, though, and you're kinda hosed, but it's still better to not try to catch yourself with your hands. I prefer old style toe clips to clipless pedals for other reasons, but one benefit is that it's a little easier to throw yourself off the bike if you need to.

He wasn’t under the tarp at the time, though.

He gave an interview to a reporter while under the tarp. A short while later a truck he was in was stopped by the feds. He responded to this by getting out of the truck and pulling a pistol off his left hip. Then they shot him.

I think if you're falling from a bike and have the time/maneuverability to bring your hands in the way, then the fall wasn't too bad. I still wouldn't recommend it, but my experiences have included getting doored once and getting hit by an SUV that cut across four lanes of traffic to make a turn into me. Neither situation really put me in a position where I could put my hands in the way. The SUV in particular had me colliding with the front corner of the car at which point I was flung off the bike, slid across the hood, and landed about ten feet further away in a snow pile against one of those plastic construction barriers. Turned into a horizontal human missile, lol, and the momentum spun me onto my side in midair. Surprisingly fine, other than having the wind knocked out of me. My bike was also fine, somehow, despite the speed of the collision. The dooring hosed my bike up worse
