Falling backwards can result in serious injury if you don't know what you're doing. To protect your head, make sure you keep your chin tucked and try to fall in a way that keeps your head away from the ground. Falling diagonally helps accomplish this. Rotate your body to dissipate the impact of your fall to a larger surface area. Make sure to use your arm and hand to break the fall.
Exercises to strengthen your upper body and lower will help you fall without injury. Be sure to build up enough strength and stability so you can absorb impact without serious injury.
If you build strength in your arms, shoulders, and chest, you'll be able to fall forward more safely. The key is to be able to catch the weight of your body in a push-up. The other option when falling forward is to do a roll to disperse the force of the impact and turn into movement. As you get confident in your strength, you can start to practice forward falls from a low height, and then gradually increase the height. Make sure you always start on a soft surface so you don't hurt yourself as you practice your breakfall.
