im 6.1, and jumped about 2-3foot in the air yesterday and fell, landed on hard ground
was wearing no pads... and it didnt hurt, had alot of addrenaline. so if you are wearing pads you will be fine me thinks... your natural instinct to fall a certain way that you prefer comes through for you most the time

But u were prob hunger over too Alex.
Ref alling, normally 1
'falls off the springs' at the bottom of a bounce and near max compression. So thats only , ooo, 4-5 inches high. Added the fact that 1 will prob be prouching and in a stressed position in anticipation of a possible crash ( and all speed stopped). So in reality, 1 is actaually gonna be falling from pretty near 1's normal height.
Falling on these stilts, id say, is about the same ( at medium to worse) as falling in a football or rugby tactal up to a semi serious mountain bike bail. Most time its just a bit of 'ooo it hurts' to 'cool blood' upto 'erm, lads I think I may need to go to hospital'.
Mainly its just scr***es. I know quite a few peeps over 6 foot who jump about...and indeed fall.... with no great probs
