Changes: Safety Vault

Revision as of 02:06, 24 March 2020

The Safety Vault is a type of vault used in parkour and freerunning. Often recommended as the first vault to learn, it is considered one of the easiest vaults, and many other vaults are variations of it. It also does not require any commitment (it is one of the few vaults than can be performed slowly), it is not as intimidating to perform as more advanced vaults, and it can be used when momentum has been lost.

Technique

approach the obstacle face on
place outside hand on obstacle and outside leg on obstacle
lift inside leg through as the body moves over the obstacle
land on inside leg and continue forward running movement.

-The '''Safety Vault''' is the first [[Vaults|vault]] that is recommended to master first before implementing other aspects of [[Parkour]] or [[Freerunning]]. Notably, this is the easiest vault to learn, a form of quadrupedal motion. Often useful for beginners because of the simplicity and peace of mind given by the aid of the foot. Also useful for when momentum is lost such as in a high wall pass.
