Nowhere in Joe's post does it say that the rebounder's back touched the ground before his feet.

Willie, I'm not trying to pick a fight, so if you want to respond again, I'll let you have the last word. In my mind, if the rebounder's back touched the ground first, you would obviously say that he "landed on his back." But if his feet merely touched and he continued to fall backwards onto his back, you would probably still say that he "landed on his back".

That phrase, to me, does not give a definite description of which body part touched the ground first. If you disagree, I can live with that. I wasn't trying to be snotty in my initial response, although after re-reading it, I guess it might sound that way. Sorry if I came across the wrong way.
