Performing falls can be, not surprisingly, hard on the neck.
Demonstrating a straight-legged kip up, and then turning it without intention into a no-hand straight leg kip up, is even harder on the neck.
Sore neck. So don't do that.
I did succeed in the kip up though, despite it being unplanned. Maybe I surprised myself so much (WHAT AM I DOING?) right up onto my feet.
