How to unlock the Head First achievement in Human Fall Flat - Definitive Guide

In the Water level

When you get to the end of the level. Pull the lever on top of the tower like normal to open up the metal grate. go to the edge of the diving board and jump off, landing on the rim of the water tank. Next, carefully position yourself on one of the grates. Get as close to the edge as you can then make sure you're looking down, then press cn_X to slump over. Your head should fall first and if done properly should be the first thing to hit the water below!


If you need to restart
Restart the level from the beginning. Make your way across the water to where the end of the level tank is. Climb on top of it by swinging your arms from side to side grabbing further every time. Once you're up, make your way to the top of the mountain by running up the path where the dam water flows. When you reach the dam you can do one of 2 things.

Hardest/Quickest
Either Climb up the stairs and walk the beam from the dam to the tower with the lever.

Or

Easier but more time consuming
Do the puzzle and break the dam, then get on the raft and surf to the bottom (potential
for another achievement [Surfer]). Then ride the water wheel to the top like
normal to get to the top of the tower with the lever.

Now repeat the process at the top!

I have done this twice now and I cannot get him to fall head first, very annoying.

6 times now and the dude does not fall head first when I ragdoll. It is pure luck the guy that the guy fell the way he does in ur video. It's rediculous that the dev makes u go through all that just to get to the point at the end for that cheev. There needs to be a manual save option. I found Octodad to be an easier completion than this and there is a cheev on that to go through the entire game without dying.

OMG! I was using some character I built with a scarf and face mask. Went with the default all white acharacter with no hat or anything and got it first try. In all these nonsense retries, I finallt learned how to climb.

I tried it and since I was unsure if I did it correctly (as the body was more horizontally than head first) I hit start and restarted the checkpoint. WHILE I WAS ALREADY IN THE WATER.
It then popped after restarting checkpoint, which means you don't have to finish the level to get this achievement.
As soon as you enter the water, hit start and you should either get it or restart from checkpoint.

Many thanks for the restart checkpoint tip. Saved a lot of bother. I finally got it by walking backward toward the edge of the grate while hitting X to flop over.

Worked like a charm, for both outcomes. Superb guide. The restart checkpoint tip was a godsend! +1

Pro Tip: Your character’s head orientation is based on where your camera is pointing, even when unconscious. So look straight down after pressing X and you should nose dive into the water every time.

Two useful tips that got obscured by well meaning but pointless (that's what the up vote button is for, folks) thank you notes:
From Gerbasgamer: Press Start and reload the checkpoint when you hit the water but before you exit the level. You'll respawn at the base of the water wheel. If you did it headfirst, you'll get the achievement. If not, at least you don't have to restart the level.
From me: When you grip the metal grate, make sure your head is over the edge and clearly over the water before going prone.

You don't even need to reload. I paused the game as soon as I was in the water and waited for the achievement to ping. If it doesn't then you can reload and try again.

I used this speed run to skip the majority of the level and get to the end quicker

This is not a solution, but i want to say that you can easily get both achievements at the same time

Simple: jump down feet first, pause the game right when you're about 4 feet underwater, select "load checkpoint" from the list, do the same thing going headfirst, boom.
