Suicide, class of moves that look crazy, dangerous, or painful. Suicides usually involve leaving the ground then landing on a part of the body other than the hands or feet.

The first moves that could be considered suicides were developed by the Zulus in the 1970s . Beaver relates, "Kusa had a famous move called the Jelly Roll...my brother... he had a move called the Flop....and these moves were similar...the Jelly Roll was a flip and land on your back...the Flop was a back flip land on your stomach" . The name "suicide" initially referred specifically to Frosty Freeze's jump into the air landing on his back (also called the backbreaker, death freeze drop) .
