When falling, the panic impulse makes you want to try to
stay upright and facing forward, which oftener than not
works out head first and face down.  In any case, the
relative flatness of the front and back of the human
body means the front and back of the head project
outward from the body.  Thus you have a much greater
chance of taking hits to either the front or back of the
head than intuition might lead you to think.

Protect your chin.
