Maybe when practicing against the wall you should turn around and put your back to the wall that way you can safely fall forward. It has been way to long since I did handstands back in my teen and early 20's years. I wanted to be able to do a handstand dive off the high board, but never was able to get the stability down enough to do that.
I probably did t explain it too well but my back is against the wall when I try, and towards the wall would be the natural way to fall forward at present.
I suspect your 20 year old wrists were a lot more flexible than mine are at present. The the high diving board, check you out!

That was a long long time ago, and if your daughter gets in to diving, I am sure she will give you some micro heart attacks at times.
I think every part of me was more flexible back then,
I hope she gives it a go, when the pools open again. The good thing is she is missing swimming, this was around the age her mum gave up for beer and boys :)
Perhaps with the boredom of the lock down, when things re-open good things will happen with the most impressionable people those 14 to 18 years old. It could be a boon to humanity in another 20 years when they will be the group coming into power.
That's a nice thought :)
