The Summersault Senton is a pimped-up variation of the Senton. As you can probably guess, the Summersault Senton is a highly spectacular move which is pretty risky too. The victim is on her back on the floor. She needs to keep her arms by her side in order to make sure they don’t get caught under the attacker when she lands. The attacker builds a little bit of momentum by taking a couple of paces before leaping up into the air and executing a summersault above the victim. She lands with her bottom on the floor on the other side of the victim, with her upper body landing on the victim. This creates the illusion that she hits the victim full weight, but make no mistake, the brunt of her weight needs to hit the ring-floor clear of the victim’s body in order to avoid injury. The summersault Senton is not a hold one can afford to botch as it can lead to serious injuries to both the victim and the attacker.

Possible escape: the victim can escape the summersault senton the same way she would escape a regular senton: by getting out of the way, rolling towards the attacker’s take-off point. Never roll towards her landing point or she’ll land on top of you and hurt you and herself too.

Efficiency: the summersault senton is supposed to knock the air out of the victim. It certainly looks spectacular enough to be considered a highly efficient move.
