I have fallen all my life. I learned very young how to fall without hurting myself, or only very slightly, just ending up bruised or scraped.

Turn the forward momentum into rotational. Start rolling as you go down. And relax! Go limp. If you realize that you can't stop the fall, just let it happen.
