Great info! I definitely need to get better at falling. One way I try to stay motivated to fall well is to remind myself that down climbing (if you are able to down climb; falling isn't always on purpose) gives me a chance to practice foot technique.
Watching this with minor whiplash, after my worst unexpected fall, after being climbing for about 18 months. It's a topic not discussed enough I feel, especially around beginner climbers.
You haven’t really fallen until you’ve landed on a prickly pear growing in a cholla garden that’s hiding a boulder field on a steep slope.

Ugh! That is so painful. I wish you a quick recovery.
