While height is only one of several aspects that influence the safety of a fall (along with the falling surface and jump form), it is something you should consider while planning your leap. Falling from a height of 10 feet or more can cause serious, long-term harm or even death. The human body is naturally built to avoid injury when standing up straight with both feet on the ground. When we jump, our bodies will react in order to protect ourselves from serious damage or death. For example, when jumping off a platform's edge, your body will automatically bend its knees to absorb some of the impact. For those who have never jumped before, it may feel strange to land on one leg instead of both. However, this unusual landing technique is safe because it gives your body time to adjust to the change in direction of the force being applied to it. It is important to remember that gravity can cause any object to fall, no matter how high it originally was. This means that even if you are standing up right now, you could be causing harm by jumping off things you shouldn't. If you are thinking about jumping, you should first determine whether this will be safe for you to do. You should also assess the situation carefully and only jump if you are sure there is no other way out.
