how should you land a high jump?

Question

im going to be jumping from about 15-20 feet (onto grass, then concrete), how should i land? hit the ground with one foot then the other, or both at once.

in essance, what can i do that will cause the least amount of pain?

Answer 1

Same as a parachute land. Two feet together and instantly buckle to the side on impact.


Anjie93. Do you really think landing on your back is a good idea? Im thinking broken spine, or neck...

Answer 2

Both feet would B best 2 distribute the shock thru UR legs.
B ready seconds B4 U land, 2 bounce with the fall.
Good luck.
Fingers X'd U stun the judges.
:)

Answer 3

land straight on the top or your head and you will feel nothing.

or hit sideways, one foot first, then knee then hip then shoulder, then roll. slap hands on ground to absorb some shock. wear a helmet and some protective pads too.

Answer 4

um first off thats stupid for doing that if its a dare or to get girls... the best way to land would be to cross your legs and arm, bend your knees, land at about a 45 degree angle and roll onto you side... be careful, good luck

Answer 5

You have to land with both leaning forward and tuck into a roll...if done right it will work from various heights. But I don't think you should risk it if you're an amateur...

Neat-O!

Answer 6

Okay, complicated hehe.
What you do is whatever foot you are (right or left) land with that foot first, then the other bending them, with you ankles up.

Answer 7

make a roll...hit the ground with one foot and then roll over it like you would fall in Judo.

Answer 8

you should always land on your back.

Answer 9

on ur face
