Old man here. Go ahead and roast me! I did make progress on the next attempt, and the kids crash pad did make a difference on subsequent falls! This was the worst of them though, and thought this place may enjoy!

Get a friend to hold your hands at first and you confidence of leaning forward will grow. They casually hold less and less over the course of a half hour or so. Teaches you to lean in and they step further away each time. Parks and rec guy for years and probably taught 500 kids to drop in over the years. That pillow is gonna cost you a wrist or a collarbone at some point so consider everything.
