I think that in the case of loosing balance, instinct kicks in spontaneously, there is no need to think about it. The issue becomes what do you do with the instinctual signal. I have seen the typical response many times as I have observed people falling. Many times I could see the abject loss of their minds to fear. Therefore instinct spontaneously alerts you to the danger and then the mind falls prey to emotion, fear. It is not an easy subject to investigate with people as the ego gets in the way or they just cannot remember those important fractions of a second from signal to ground contact. I love the opportunity to experience a fall but as I said you cannot fake one. Watching other people fall does give some insight into how the mind, under extreme pressure, how it responds to the unknown nature of the fall. The few people that could recall the experience all said the same thing, their mind was completely blank, blackness within.
This seems rather incomplete. You cannot imitate a fall. By the time you know that you have lost your balance you are falling. How long is the time period from loss of balance to recognition of the loss? How long does it take to fall from a standing position to ground impact? This training seems incomplete or even misleading. We can prevent falling backwards by always being on the edge of falling forwards. By a change of postural equilibrium. Also the fear must be taken away from falling. Falling must be embraced and then the fall can be used to our advantage.
Fall prevention seems like an oxymoron. Wouldn’t it be better to call it fall intervention. Turning sideways while falling backwards is not prevention, it is a correction. In the fraction of a second that we have in free fall there are a lot of tools at our disposal, at the least to prevent damage or to minimize damage. I find that most people go blank as they are consumed by fear after loosing their balance. This dooms them to fate. If the fear does not take over consciousness we can act quickly. Yes I agree we must train ourselves for fall intervention but I disagree with imitation falls, they have no bearing whatsoever with really falling. In my experience, who has not fallen, falls are extremely quick. If you try to analyze your fall during the episode you will never recover. You must practice methods that are activated as soon as loss of balance is even imagined. There are several Kung Fu techniques that work by using gravity as a means of transport, a fall is much faster and direct than muscular propulsion.

Детали домов разглядывала с таким кайфом!!! ❤
