Parkour for Tall Men: A Risky Endeavor?

[driker]

Is parkour suitable for tall men to practice? Will it add larger probability to tall men to get hurt considering taller men has lower bearing surface to body mass ratio?

Isn't anyone interested in this topic? Or doesn't anyone know it?

The last applied to me, I had to google it. I think it will be easier if you are tall, as you can more easily reach over longer distances.

The taller you are the more easily you can reach over longer distances, but the heavier weight will impact your legs when you jump. I think tall people are more likely to get fratured bones when we falling from a high site. I'm 6'5, and I would avoid to do such things cause I awlays have a terrior of falling.
