1. Inherent risk of injury to the knees, ankles and hamstring muscles.

Add "wrists" to the list of possible injuries. In my younger (and obviously more awkward) days, I used to run backwards as well during transitions, until one day I tripped over one of the lines (honest!) and broke my wrist when I put my hand down to break my fall.
It is always better to run forward, and turn your head over your shoulder to watch the players. Just don't get into the bad habit of not watching the players as you run.

I did the same thing in my 2 or 3 year of officiating. Running backwards on a tile floor and broke my wrist. Never did that again!
