When bouldering, you can climb pretty high but without a rope to catch you, falling could result in a broken leg or arm. Learn how to fall properly and practice falling. You want to land on your feet and then roll backward onto your back. Keep your chin tucked into your chest to protect your head from slamming back. Don't try to catch yourself with your arms!
At first, practice falling from shorter heights and then practice climbing a little higher and falling. This will help you feel more confident bouldering harder, higher climbs. Also never climb above someone! If you accidentally fall you don't want to take them down with you.
