Replying to Another backflip thread

so the jumps at my hill had just been rebuilt and i was having a really good night in the park. some boarders were doing rodeos and stuff so i thought i would sack up and do my first backy. i knew i had to commit so I did my best and just threw myself back off the jump. i tried to hold it to make sure i at least got most of the rotation but then i just got all loose after about 210 degrees. I ate shit. somehow i landed on my lower rightside back which is really bruised and my upper back ribs on my left side feel kinda broken. I obviously wont be skiing for a week or two but im wondering what could i have done to not die or advice for next time. also if anybody knows anything about mending back ribs that would be appreciated too.
