When you stop keep your torso low,

So you don't go over backwards....
DON'T sit up and get off like you've done for years..... or,,see above...
Find a small short impossible hill out in the open grass,,practice getting off on these steep grade,, do it !
I've done some extremely graceful dismounts on steep hills. It's like I'm dancing down the hill backwards with my bike, seriously!
Lately I've been just going out timber style if there's nothing bad to land on to one side of the trail, I'll just fall over that way, stay clipped in, keep my hands on the bar and just fall right over to that side.
