They are football players. they could get injured doing the most mundane of drills. Harbaugh is not going to discourage them from being supremely confident in their bodies and abilities.

I was a solid athlete in college, but these boys make me look like I've never played sports a day in my life. My god those two are blessed with unreal athleticism.

The momentum does help a lot. The half twist lay out is the hardest part. 

Any person in semi-decent shape can learn how to backflip if they learn how to get over the fear. I learned on a trampoline first then moved to grass and then floor.

  I assume it would be considering "hot dogging" to somehow get these backflips in during coverage in a game, right?

  Yeah, probably... but can you imagine the ESPN hoopla?  I don't think even Eisen would have a catch phrase for that.
