Our kids were trained by the best (RIP) many years ago and we loved it when a kid tried to throw a head & arm on our kids. They would lock up just like that and throw them over the side to their back for three points if they were 14U or under. When they became Cadets and Juniors they took them right over the top like you saw in the video for 5 points. I will admit, those were pretty hard landings in the video, especially the second one. In freestyle they are trained to try and land them on their back for the fall. These were a little high for that and coming down head first is not what you want to see. There was one national champ at Fargo years ago that was known for the head first powerbomb. It got bad enough that it was a point of emphasis at the officials pre-session meetings that year that if wrestlers lifted into the reverse body lock and started to swing them we would immediately blow it dead. Again that was from the reverse body lock powerbomb, not the belly to back suplay. Wrestling is a tough sport.
