Zenpo Kaiten Ukemi

The forward rolling breakfall. The leading hand goes to the mat with the fingers turned inward, and the roll runs diagonally from that hand across the shoulder to the opposite hip, finishing in a yoko ukemi. Nothing hard touches the mat and nothing stops the momentum, which is why it is the answer to a throw taken at speed.
