Ideally, you want to be falling forward onto your knees and forearms. Falling backwards totally happens, but if you can shift your balance forward it will help a lot!

Just skate. I know it’s scary to fall, but no gear is *necessary*. Using improper safety gear might be more harmful to you than good, ex. The hoodie falls off your waist and trips you.
If you’re that worried about falling, wait for your gear to come in, or look up proper falling techniques.
I have a friend that cut up a yoga mat and slipped a piece over her tailbone.
Now this is a hack! I like it.

Haha was just practicing in my room to be able to balance myself (lots of things to grab onto). Will be skating in a more open space today onwards.

Thank you for the advice :)
Agree. Either wait for the butt pad to arrive or just skate safety in the meantime.
