If you jump down from a high distance and end up with a sprained ankle, your feet did not absorb the shock of hitting the ground properly. The shocked was absorbed by the wrong ligaments (usually because of falling on the side of the foot or off balance), resulting in a sprain.

How do you sprain your ankle doing something really easy like a handstand or a cartwheel?

It could be possibly because you may not be used to doing stuff like a handstand or a cartwheel. If you are not careful, you might invert or bend your hand or ankle easily. For a ankle, I'm not sure you could get it other than letting your ankle do whatever it wants. Basically, what I am trying to say is that your feet could invert somehow doing something like this. Falling is more common in my experience.
