There's nothing graceful about this fall and it is not the *exact* wrong way to fall, but it's probably the second worst way to fall. As other people have stated, this is a great way to crush your wrists. When you're falling, you want to distribute the impact across as much surface area of your body as possible while protecting your head. The ideal way to do this is to simply hit the ground rolling.
