A gainer is the acrobatic trick of performing a backwards somersault while still moving forward. In diving, this is known as reverse rotation. Many stunt performers and martial artists are capable of performing a similar skill on the ground, sometimes in combination with a midair inverted kick.
What does gainer mean?
A gainer is a person or organization who gains something from a particular situation. Overall, there were more losers than gainers.
Why is it called a gainer?
The idea behind a gainer is that the diver is doing an action that would move backwards from a stationary stance (like a backflip or backward somersault), but the jumper is moving forward throughout the move rather than jumping backward off the board.
