What should you do when crossing over a wall?

When crossing over a wall, rolling quickly over the top is the most effective technique. This method accomplishes several important objectives. Firstly, rolling helps to lower the center of gravity as you transition from vertical to horizontal, which can provide better stability and control as you navigate over the edge. The roll also disperses the impact upon landing, reducing the risk of injury compared to a straight fall or jump.

Additionally, rolling helps maintain momentum, allowing for a smoother and quicker traversal. It prepares the individual to quickly regain their feet and continue moving, which is particularly vital in a combat situation where speed and readiness are essential.

The other methods of crossing a wall may not provide the same effectiveness or safety. Climbing over slowly can expose you to risks like being in a vulnerable position for too long, while jumping straight down can lead to potential injury due to the abrupt stop on the other side. Using a grappling hook might be practical in certain scenarios but is not typically necessary for standard wall crossings and requires specific equipment and skills that may not always be available in a combat situation.
