What is the best way/technique to land from a big jump, say over 3times the height of you??

and if you get the landing right on your jump, what is the biggest height you can jump from onto grass or whatever say; 5times your own height or more?

and any techniques or tips for big jumps and stuff please post them here please, thanks biggrin.gif

I find..if you cut the back of your feet.it makes it easier to land when you jump off high things..and the average person can usualy jump at least 20 times as hi as themselves..

Wtf? You mean like cut them...With a knife? I dont get it.

I don't jump much, but I find the best way is to keep your legs loose and limp, slightly bent, then when you land the impact is softer. Try and roll as you land also.

20times the height of themselves? no way, I mean without getting injured and stuff?

it just seems when I jump from something high basically, I always seem to hurt my ankle a bit, I bend my knee's and everything biggrin.gif

Yeah no doubt if you're jumping from something high, its still gonna hurt a little.
If you've had a previous ankle injury also it could cause pain when you land.

whatever you do dont land with locked knees... bend your legs just a little bit... then when you landl dont try to stand the jump that'll make you fall on your ass.. and that's the worst landing you can do...

I always roll to the left for some reason...

IF you do a high and long jump you wont get as hurt if you'd drop straight down... Your weight while falling will then be directed a bit forward... not only towards the ground... and when your falling your weight increases depending on your speed...

From the backyard wrestling I've seen, a couple of flaming tables are a great way to cusion a head first dive off a house, ie DDTing or piledriving a mate.

I guess its the same for jumps, easier to land on your back than legs, more surface area to take the impact, obviously this can hurt your back instead of legs, knee, ankles. The choice is yours
