[Childe, who has glided a bit away to stretch his legs, loops around with a smile to close back in until he's at a good distance to demonstrate. He lets the comment on his name slide; it truly isn't important.]
Well, there's two things you want to avoid. The first is landing on your head, as I already mentioned—that won't be good for you. So, if you should fall backwards, try to land in a different way. It will be easiest if you lower your center of gravity as far as you can. [Childe, after a demonstrative wobble, plops down to sit on the ice. Use your butt, Xiao.] See?
And the other one, if you should fall forward, is to not allow yourself to land on your knees. That'll really hurt. Break your fall with your hands, but don't put all your weight there—instead you'll slide onto your belly, like a seal.
[He hops up to show this method next, stumbling forward to gracefully catch with hands that then slide outward, allowing him to rest on his stomach. He looks ridiculous, but he doesn't seem to mind.]
