This is the action of a gymnast doing a floor routine, or a kid joyfully rolling down a grassy hill. 'Bumali-baligtad' is to turn over and over. On a darker note, it's also what a car does in a major highway accident. Figuratively, your stomach might 'bumali-baligtad' from extreme nervousness or 'kilig'.
