A woman who hadn't done contact much before was standing on my left hip facing me. Then she arched her back and threw herself backwards with her hands at her hips.
So far as I could tell, she was trying to commit suicide by landing on her head backwards. If she'd died, there would be paperwork, so I caught her by the sacrum with my left hand. This put some stress on my torso. I know I felt the pop, I think I heard it. It hadn't been sure that I was strong enough to catch her, but I had thought that muscles would be the limiting factor.
After that I kind of rolled her over my hand like a huge contact juggling ball. This faced her away from me, and she just stepped down. If not for the rib popping it would have been great...
