What does "go ass over" mean?
I come across this phrase when play a game. Here is the context:
M: Why would there be a fence out here?
W: Oh, because sometimes hikers go ass over teakettle when on a trail.
So what does "go ass over" mean?
Thank you in advance.

All of these mean a rolling motion, that's why the word 'over' is used.
