They're not performing the backflip themselves, they're just falling backwards with gravity after the board they're holding onto breaks.The camera does flip though, that can easily be interpreted as a backflip.
That's meant to interpret a fall, they do the exact same thing when the minecart crashes into a pit. And like AThe1412 said, you can still just argue "Minor Acrobatics" since they can jump across large gaps in the bridges.Actually IT IS a backflip, you can even see the player's arms rotating with the camera.
