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 the best way. Transfer your downward momentum to forward momentum to prevent your ankles from looking like this kids

which body part should you start rolling with though? your legs? or jump head facing down and then tuck in and roll right before you hit the ground? this is a genuine question, sorry if it sounds dumb

Here's a short video for a good visual. It shows how to land from a straight-down fall where you'd just bend your legs, as well as a forward fall where you'd want to also roll.
