Who We Are
Safe Landing Academy (SLA) was established to translate the latest Safe Falling Research into practice, enabling individuals at-risk of falling to ‘fall less’ and ‘land safely’ to minimize harm & injury from falling.
Our vision is to create a safer community where individuals gain the knowledge & skills to fall safer and prevent severe injury, so they move more confidently.
All our programs are grounded in evidence & informed by lived experience.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I was walking in the dog park when three dogs who were playing ploughed into me, I immediately without thought went into a tunnel [barrel] roll and was uninjured. I am so grateful that I have done Dynamic Balance as it has given me the skills to fall safely.
Jan, 81
I had a rather graceful fall yesterday. Again walked into a gutter and went falling forwards. Managed to roll down my right side and finished up looking down into my beautifully crossed fingers. Got up and continued my morning walk in the rain, and then off to breakfast with my good friend C. Thank you dynamic balance.
Anne, 82
There was a slight rise in the footpath which caused me to stumble forward and loose balance. I recollect my hands coming up in front of my face and then my body automatically went into a barrel roll to the left. The only damage was a graze on my left knee and some skin off my arm near my left elbow. No bruising or aches and pains the following day. I am so grateful to "Dynamic Balance" it certainly prevented any serious injury which is pretty surreal at 82 years of age. Thank you so much M. & M. for introducing such an awesome program. I will be forever grateful.
Kathy, 82,
Life-changing! Recently I tripped as I was walking, falling forward on asphalt. And didn’t land on my face!A moment passed on the ground before I realised to my astonishment that I had unconsciously landed in a position I had learned and practised in Dynamic Balance, with my face and head a good 30 cm off the ground carefully protected by my forearms. I was fine. I got up, and carried on. Amazed. Previously I had tripped while bushwalking, injuring my face, teeth and confidence. I became fearful of hard surfaces after that, and only walked on the beach or with support for months. Dynamic Balance has been truly transformative. Thank you so much.
