What is a "backflip"?

A backflip is an acrobatic move where a person flips backward through the air, rotating their body in a full circle before landing. It can be performed in various sports, such as gymnastics, diving, and even on trampolines or in dance. To execute a backflip, one must use strength and coordination to push off the ground or surface, rotating the body while keeping control of the flip. The move requires precise timing and balance, as the person must land safely, typically on their feet. The backflip is a thrilling and visually impressive stunt.
