Default Re: What if you fell 30 ft?

I think paratroopers roll sideways or something, but I don't know how to do it.

Exactly, you align your body vertical, bend you joints slightly, but keep muscles fairly tight, and when you hit the ground you collapse to either side, letting the ground hit first your feet, then calf, thigh, butt, etc.

BTW, I've seen 2 people jump from 1250', chutes fail to open (but streamers), and walk away using this method.
