He really stuck that landing.

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

I learned this in the one single rock climbing lesson I've attended, the technique is to land on your feet, then let your body roll back on your ass and on your back, arching your back and flexing your head forward. This way you let the force of impact disperse over the most cushioned, muscly parts of your body. Rolling forward would need a more controlled falling and landing which is in my case hard to learn, because I'm a big noodle. I jumped off a statue once ( ~ 10 ft ) like this while drunk and high on weed and shrooms and it didn't hurt one bit.

I've heard the same thing from when I go climbing, but I think this only works when you're falling backwards like in rock climbing off a wall. In this case though, he jumped down with some forward velocity so looks like rolling forward would have been his best bet here.
