Notes on the experience I attempted to dash vault over a soccer goal that is about 5 feet high, which i had placed on the edge of my deck that has a 7 foot drop over the rail. i planned on rolling out of it once i hit the ground, but my trailing foot didn't quite make it over the goal. It got caught, which flipped me over headfirst towards the ground. I extended my arm to take the brunt of the impact, and then hit the ground. i figure a days rest and ill be good.
