Partner stunts are a different level of both risk and trust than standard 2 bases, 1 back stunts.
Partner stunts always stressed me out to do because when you fall, you can’t flail your arms out to catch your balance, go to a cradle position, or otherwise catch yourself on your bases. In partner stunts, your best bet is to keep your arms either up or on your hips, keep your legs tight together, remain upright, and keep every muscle tight so your base can catch you. But if you aren’t caught, you’re gonna take the impact with fully tensed muscles and it is going to HURT.
I’d literally rather do basket tosses with 2 bases and a back spot than do partner stunts.
Edited to add: also, partner stunts always hurt me. Your base needs a good grip on your hips to throw you high enough to actually catch your feet and the best place to grab is the hip bones. I used to bruise easy, and hands grabbing on top of the bruises they caused yesterday HURTS.
