Airbag Jumps?

So, my home mountain is getting an airbag for the holidays. Since I've never hit a bag jump before I'm wondering what it's like to land on one and how much it breaks your fall - can you get hurt landing on your back/head when doing inverts into an airbag?

Doesn't hurt at all, but you can get some pretty serious whiplash if you land badly

It cushions you quite i big. They are the same bags stuntmen jump out of buildings and land on. That being said you could land on your head and break your neck

^that was my first jump of the season.  Wear a helmet and you'll be fine.

be ready to "fall" correctly because most of the time you wont just land, you will land then follow over so just be prepared
