Be really, really careful.

You are going to go out an teach yourself how to use a pointy metal
object that you can stab yourself with. Remember that Trotsky was
killed with and Ice Axe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Trotsky

If you manage to practice falling and not stab yourself, but you don't
use the axe correctly and have picked a practice slope with obstacles
below, you could die from the impact.

It is a really, really good idea to get some instruction from someone
who knows what they are doing.

Ned?
