Head diving throws (mostly uchimata) aren’t penalized as much as they should be. They are incredibly dangerous off of mats and completely unrealistic outside of a dojo.
Throws that don’t finish with control of your opponent should never be given Ippon.
I can see throws that make you roll over and land on your back or put you in a position where someone takes your back, but what about roll through where you can roll up to your feet or knees?
