Rolling is done after a landing to minimize impact on the joints and to redirect momentum. Rolls can also be used for other purposes, for instance in diving through a railing where it is no possible to land back on your feet, or to get across an area such as a high table where rolling is a suitable choice. Roulade is French for roll.

Skynative, idk how hard it is to do this, but i think it would be helpful and just plain cool if the animations could be fast forwarded, paused, rewound, etc.
