If you are practicing jumping for some event or parkour, make sure the surface you land on is soft and I recommend you don't jump more than your own height.

QuestionWhat do I do if there's a fire and I can't get out of my room so I have to jump out of a window? What do I do if I have to jump out a window 10 feet onto concrete?Community AnswerLower yourself as much as possible. Pinpoint your location to land. If there are other people there, find out if they can help you in any way (catching you, watching you, etc.). And most importantly, clear your mind and go for it, as hesitating will put you at a disadvantage, like being off balance. Go for a slight rolling motion, like a duck, and roll from your feet to your hands and feet.

QuestionHow do I land if I'm jumping from a broken down ski lift without snapping my legs?Community AnswerAssuming you are in a snowy area with a decent amount of powdery snow, try to follow these steps: Lower yourself as much as possible, take a deep breath, and drop. Bend your knees when you hit the ground and try to roll your weight forward a bit towards a hands-and-knees position.

QuestionIf I'm stuck on a ski lift about 15 meters from the ground, what kind of landing should I go for without snapping my legs?Community AnswerTry finding help first. Staying on the ski lift may be the safer option. If you have to jump, make sure to stay low, take slow, deep breaths and drop––don’t jump, just drop and then roll in the snow. You will probably break bones but you may survive.

QuestionCould pads and helmets be used to lessen risk?Ethan OngCommunity AnswerHelmets and pads aren't that useful when you're landing. Because when you're landing, you're using your feet and when you want to do a tuck and roll, the helmet prevents you from doing that. Pads are only made when you fall forward or to the side, but they can't of stop you from flexing your limbs.
