Friday Fails are a perfect example of what not to do: drop into a high commitment move with no warmup, no skill development to build you up gradually to the requirements of that move, limited ability to crash well. Most riders in FF have no business trying those moves. There are lots of ways to work your way up to a big move that reduce risk. Find a similar but smaller version of it to get a taste of the dynamics and ways to bail safely, that way when you do the real thing you're less nervous and can focus better.
