'flip' is the definition.
(I know that flip can be written as somersault)

(Other definitions for somersault that I've seen before include "Move acrobatically" , "policy switch" , "Perform acrobatic feat" , "Turn head over heels" , "Feat of acrobatics" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
