"The most difficult, dangerous and treacherous move in figure skating!"ermmm i have seen some pretty wild waxels with super dangerous falls.
I've collided with the boards a few times, but I still prefer having them there to rinks with no barriers around the ice. You find yourself skating with your eyes down all the time, looking for the edge of the ice surface so you don't trip over it and end up on the floor."The most difficult, dangerous and treacherous move in figure skating!"

Do you have any experience with the board padding that they put up for short-track? It seems like it would make falls into the boards less harmful, but would be more likely to cause a "brushed skate into boards" (or even "got skate tangled in boards") incident.I've collided with the boards a few times, but I still prefer having them there to rinks with no barriers around the ice.

I've seen that on TV, and envied them. Not used in any rink I've ever skated in, though, or at least not up if it's removable. All the rinks I've skated in were either shared with hockey (glass above the boards), or dedicated to figure skating.Do you have any experience with the board padding that they put up for short-track?

Everyone remembers Midori Ito falling into the camera enclosure, but I also remember (although not well enough to recall when, where and who) seeing on TV a competition on a very large ice surface that had been cut down to a standard size by closing off one end with lovely beds of flowers in low boxes. You can guess what happened. One skater tripped with her back to the boxes and took a very undignified pratfall backwards, ending up sitting among the pretty flowers.About the boards, in the famous incident involving Midori Ito, it appears from the videos that it was caused by the fact that a piece of the boards had been removed to accommodate the ice-level photographers. When Midori lost her balance, it looked like she reached out for the boards to catch herse;f -- but it wasn't there.
If you watch mathman's video to the end, you'll see a case where the end of the rink is shut off with temporary walls (kind of like cubicle partitions or stage scenery walls). A skater crashes into them and takes out several sections of wall.Everyone remembers Midori Ito falling into the camera enclosure, but I also remember (although not well enough to recall when, where and who) seeing on TV a competition on a very large ice surface that had been cut down to a standard size by closing off one end with lovely beds of flowers in low boxes.

Is it the one on the same ouchy compilation above?

True, any elements is risky if your don't know how to do it well.Ice is slippery. Are there any elements that are not potentially dangerous?
Just thinking.
No, landing a backflip is not about edge control. Unless you're Surya Bonaly, you land on two feet and are traveling in a pretty straight line.But we are talking about backflip specifically , is dangerous if you haven't a spectacular control of edges when you falls back to ice
Yes, it is definitely important to be able to jump high enough and rotate/flip fast enough to get the feet under you before you land.because also needs reinforce the quadriceps for achieve the enough force for jump back and reach a good height taking advantage of momentum ( when the horizontal force and speed is transfer to vertical force on a constant speed) .
Is ok that can teach it but must be awarded of the risk that it convey
Will clarify something. I mean both foots aplomb for no slip or fall when are landing.. That was a mistake mine (write faster when I'm commuting)No, landing a backflip is not about edge control. Unless you're Surya Bonaly, you land on two feet and are traveling in a pretty straight line.

Not sure what you mean here.
As of now, the backflip is an illegal element that earns a deduction if performed in ISU competition. It is not rewarded.
Athletic advanced skaters may want to learn it to perform in shows, including gala exhibitions at competitions. The ISU doesn't make rules about what can be done in exhibitions, whether backflips or lying on the ice or removing most of one's clothes.
The ISU has no jurisdiction over how skaters learn elements. That happens at practice rinks and any limitations, especially with an eye toward the safety of other skaters on the ice, would be put in place by the rink managers or skating clubs, or possibly national federations if they control ice time, which is not at all the case in my country.
To me, the strongest argument in favor of regarding backflips as UNIQUELY a bad idea in figure skating would go something like this.I don't want to troll, but do you guys think the raspberry flip or whatever it's called or Adam's handless cartwheel thingy are less dangerous?
If Ilia lost control, he could land on his head sideways and Adam could also crash face down onto the ice. Why then are these moves ok but not the back flip?
I know what you meant. You're still wrong. Not every fall will lead to a bruise. We know how to fall safely. Skaters rarely get bruises from falling on jumps. Most bruises come from fluke falls. Not falls on jumps or tricks.
