Please note that there are small rule changes every year, and I've included what I think are the most updated rules, but there may be some inconsistencies!

Ok yeah I'm glad they banned the "swinging women around to see if their head hits the ice" move.
Judges: you know, we got tired of having to clean blood off the ice so can you stop trying to kill yourselves now?
I love how they’re like, “we can’t do this during competition because it’s dangerous? Fine. WE WILL DO IT FOR FUN AND YOU DONT HAVE TO BE THERE, JUDGY MC SAFETY PANTS”
So the judges just got tired of dramatic “i died” endings with people laying on ice lololol
Surya Bonaly performed her backflip and landed on one foot because the ISU banned it when you landed on two feet. They did not think one would attempt it with one foot.

Headbanger: exists
What's even more impressive is WHY Surya Bonaly did the backflip even though it was banned in competition. She has ruptured her achilles tendon the season prior and suffered permanent damage from it. She was unable to perfectly execute some of the 'legal' moves that she planned in her routine, like the triple lutzes everyone had become obsessed with at the time, so she decided to pop in a one-legged backflip instead. She lost out on medaling, but she gained more worldwide fans than ever and became one of the most talked-about athletes of the Olympics that year.
I was one of just two people in my country during my period of skating who could do a backflip at the time. I once did one at a major competition during the 6 minute warmup (the official warmup right before you compete your program) to show off for the ladies and have a bit of fun and initially, people thought it was funny. After I won the gold medal, however, the coaches of my competitors lobbied the judges and decision makers to have me disqualified and have my medal stripped from me for performing an illegal manoeuvre during competition. The judges got out the rule books and after a few hours of discussions came back and said they couldn’t find any rule stating that banned manoeuvres could not be performed during the official 6 minute warm up, so my 1st place position stood. Awesome memories.
The headbanger is so frigging scary I don't understand how anyone would agree to do that
About that lying down thing...
Surya's flip was an epic display of sheer athleticism. I was instantly inspired by her "F.Y." to the olympic board.
Bonaly performed the flip after some stumbles during her routine. She knew she was out of medal contention, so she wanted to go out with a bang for the audience. One of my favorite Olympic moments.
Six minutes of why women get so many head injuries in pairs skating
Me:
This is a really well-made video, no ads, no intro, just straight to the point
I love how when she does the banned black flip she totally owns it and smiles without giving any care to what the judges will say
Surya landing the backflip on one foot + 3S is such a power move.
The "Headbanger" one just gives me anxiety
Olympic skating is amazing, but my favorite experience watching figure skating was when I went to Disney on Ice where there were no illegal moves. They did so many amazing moves I’d never seen in the Olympics (like twirling the girl by her leg!) They used props and put on a fantastic show, and were allowed to be creative. In the Olympics there are so many rules, that many of the programs skaters do look so similar to each other.
