How do you do a back flip without hurting your back?

Answer 1

Well, I would first suggest that if you want to be safe that you do not do one at home. Do one at a gym. If you are not enrolled in gymnastics a lot of gyms have something called "Open Gym" where anyone can come to the gym for a small fee (anywhere from $5-$15) for a few hours. There should be coaches there supervising. You can ask them to spot you to make sure you do not hurt yourself. In order to do it though, you need to make sure you can do a lot of back tumbling skills by yourself like back hand springs, back walk overs, etc.

Answer 2

grab your knees and flip fast.
