double backflip

Two rotations backward

A double backflip is an acrobatic maneuver in which the performer rotates backward through two complete revolutions before landing.

Common in gymnastics, diving, freestyle skiing, and skateboarding, it requires significant height and rotational speed.

The move carries considerable risk—landing wrong can cause serious injury.
