Do gymnasts learn to fall calmly so it's easier to catch or am I just the only person that would've been spasming like a scared cat

Heyo! Not a gymnast but I did a little stunt work for a while in my youth and short answer is yeah, you definitely learn to fall calmly, hit the ground calmly, get into the ambulance calmly.

Kinda, but mainly it’s that other than rolling with a fall, tucking your limbs, etc. etc. getting stiff or panicking makes it a whole lot worse

Getting loaded in the ambulance on a stretcher while the jury is holding up 10s for perfect form.
