Depends how you fall, how fast you're going, how high you're jumping etc.
It's definately a real danger but you can also break bones from your bike or just running and falling.
Falling down some steps would be disasterous.

I'd imagine a nasty tumble at high speed would result in fairly serious injury.
But it's all fun right? Just make sure you have wrist guards on and a helmet (even if u only wear the helmet when trying new things. It can save ur life).

Well i reckon u cud break something, especially if u dont have a helmet.........Actually where are the helmets in the 'safety gear' section of the site?? dont u think they should sell mandatory helmets with their springbok legs to prevent injury??

It is kinda ironic that they have a photo competition where u win safety gear. Surely this encourages people with no safety gear to go out and take photos without safety gear :/

I'm sure I saw some helmets on the projump site somewhere but no sign of wrist guards.

The prize is some NEW safety gear, Pro-Jump in no way condones the use of the pro-jumps without safety gear whatsoever.

As I am aware, Pro-Jump are looking into the helmet situation.

Still not seeing Helmets under safety gear. I'm seeing enough armour to go paintballing in but no helmets as of yet.
