summersaulting
Flipping head over
Summersaulting is an alternative spelling of somersaulting—turning head over heels in a rolling motion.
The spelling reflects the common mispronunciation that hears "summer" in the word, though the original has nothing to do with the season.
The gymnast went summersaulting across the mat.
