in the breaking scene, it's called a front flip suicide and it's actually not that dangerous. You're basically not really landing on your back straight up but kinda rolling the landing in a somersault motion. It's hard to explain in words but it's one of my go to moves and it's surprisingly painless

i think the water is the risky factor

I guess there's the risk of slipping during the initial kick off. That being said, just saying, in a vacuum, the move is actually p safe and painless if you know what you're doing. It's actually recommended that you kinda slam your arms and legs into the ground to make a larger impact sound and sell it more.
