Not trying to do a stand-up routin here, but that saying has always confused
me. Think about it:

Picture a spring. Pull on a spring. When you let go, it springs BACK. Not
forward! When a spring is BEING a spring, it springs back.

When you are walking, if you were to fall, 99 times out of 100, you fall
FORWARD. Whether walking down the street or off a cliff. You don't fall
backwards, do you???
