The safety technique for precision landings works!
I've been experimeting with this technique for awhile and put it to the test today on a tricky jumping course using the bar precision trainers.
The idea is that you land and allow yourself to not only go all the way down into a crouch but also put a hand down to the side. If you split your weight this allows a bit more strength control on your landing but the real benefit is that you can stick out the inbetween leg in front or in back for quite a lot of recovery, basically going directly into safety/step vault position. It worked really well on a course I only did correctly without hands once. Surprisingly I found that I started jumping smarter too, possibly because it was easier to choose the target or I was able to relax more knowing I had more recovery room (I was try to imitate doing a bar to bar precision high up enough that you wouldn't want to come down). Made the series of four jumps four times in a row.
