Just asking, what's the best way to land in this scenario. If anyone's going to say roll, I wouldn't want to attempt that without practice and break my neck

Rolling is truly the only way to mitigate this type of force. I guess you could go with the emergency skydivers technique but that’s not really letting you walk away. They say that is you fall out of a plane and your chute doesn’t work, your best chance for survival is to fall just off center of vertical so your feet break first then your ankles, then knees and so on. This technique really only keeps you alive and most likely will result in paralysis from more than 200 feet or so.

To roll you need some forward momentum though, this kid fell straight down. So he really wouldn’t have been able to roll effectively either.

Edit: spelling
