It's true that if you are small and you get hit by a bigger person, there's no amount of functional training you can do to stop yourself from being moved. But there IS training you can do to make sure that you land in the safest way possible. It is possible to learn how to fall. Morant needs to do that.
I cut off the part about the camera because actually, the camera doesn't matter. He fell into the camera, sure, but the issue that I'm talking about (Landing mechanics) has absolutely nothing to do with the camera. His landing mechanics would be bad whether he fell onto a camera, a beanbag, a lasagna, a mince pie, sixteen fans, a bee hive, or a bowl of soup.
