Yes, parkour is safe sport... (NOT a sport) It is for me a lifestyle

I had my falls and bruises. It's part of it. Le Parkour is all about progression. It takes time. You start off of something small and once your comfortable push a little, push a little. You dont have to jump the Eiffel Tower at once to learn how to land.

Don't rush yourself. Know your limits and be safe

Yes, Parkour is a very phisicaly and mentally demanding sport. You need to be very fit, and you need to have high willpower. When you are about to jump off one roof, and onto another, you CANNOT hesitate. if you are not fit, it can be very dangerous. Begin by going for 5 K runs without stopping to up your stamina, then go to Parkour traning.

Parkour isn't dangerous if you know what you are doing. Training helps with that. Parkour could be dangerous in some obstacles where you can't complete like jumping from building to building if it is too far.

Answer 6

Yes. Sudden heart failure, extreme head trauma, physical shock, and choking on an inhaled insect are all part of this exciting new challenge to the human experience.

But Parkour is actually one of the safest sports if you are doing it right. If you end up jumping from Building to Building at a beginner level you can very easily get seriously injured or die. So if you are starting out don't go from rooftop to rooftop. just stay on the ground until you are used to extreme falls or jumps
