This is a new hobby called parkour which originated in France and has since spread through Europe and now slowly into the rest of the world. Essentially it involves treating large urban areas as a jungle gym. It doesn't necessarily include falling but being able to do so properly is apparently an advantage.

I did something like that once, but the fall was shorter and I was a lot more intoxicated... :razz:
