Cool clips!
How many folks here try to hit flying subs on a regular basis?

I know how to do them, but I would never try one for fear of hurting my partner.

There is one female purple belt in Western Canada that hits them EVERY tournament. First time I competed against her I had been warned so I was ultra paranoid. She didn't get one on me, but WHAM! Next guy up, flying armbar.

Some people can just pull those things off.

On the other end of the spectrum I knew a boy who thought he knew how to do them and really hurt training partner when he tried it on her during an open mat time.
 
What is it that makes it so dangerous to your opponent if it's not done correctly?
 
Nothing, unless you boot them in the head by accident or they try to support your weight and pull something.

You're more likely to hurt yourself if you screw up then the other guy.
 
Ah, I get ya. I can see how doing a half-gainer and landing on your head could be dangerous. Is that the primary danger with it?
 
I wouldn't reccomend trying it without mats... Not just the landing, a strong opponent could add a little "slam" in there for you.

And if you don't land it you've probably just had your guard passed.
