When we jump vertically downwards from a height we can hurt our selves.So what is the right way of jumping from a height so that we can get the minimum hurt and why.pls elaborate?

Dear student,

Look down. Take a quick glance at what's below you. If you see you're about to tumble into a bed of nails or shards of glass, try to shift all your weight in a different direction.

Compact your body. Tuck in all fingers, hands and flailing arms. Crunch up into as solid a mass as possible.

Go with it. The biggest mistake people make when they are falling is to try to stop themselves.

Get up, brush yourself off and act as if it were no big deal.

Look around to see if anyone saw you. If so, give them a snappy comeback if you feel up to it. These could include "That completes my workout for the day," "Where's my clown coach when I need him?" or "Wow, I needed that."
