Falling in the Park

Okay, so I was thinking about trying some new tricks in the park, on some normal size jumps (15-25 feet, South Park at Mammoth for those of you who know). I am currently clearing every jump in the line, and doing mute's, shifty japan's, etc. and I was thinking of trying a 360 and/or a backflip. The one thing I was worried about is how mad people seem to get when someone falls on one of the jumps, that and there the next person would land on me before they knew I had fallen. Oh ya, one last thing, I have had 6 major concussions in my life and don't want to get tooo many more, so avoiding landing on my head would be a good thing. Opinions, suggestions, flaming, etc. welcome.

You know there is more and more research highlighting that concussions have direct correlations with memory loss and age dementia...

my opinion is just try anything that you feel comfortable with whether a backflip or a 3 or what ever you want to do just make sure that you go there with a bunch of friends that are body builders to beat the crap out of somebody that hits you when you fall. if i had friends that were body builders thats what i would do

I know you don't like 180s, but Switch 180s aren't too bad; for the fact that you land regular. Just be comfortable about sking switch, and popping into switch and not sliding into it at a higher speed, and if you do try a 3, just spot it all the way around; and you don't ahve to worry about whippping the spin around, you have more time and it's way more comfortable.
