Jumping all the way down would have hurt... a lot. It was a pretty large jump. Essentially what you do is grab the rails and swing the distance of the steps. Since the distance was so great, I could not grab them at the top without most probably clipping the bottom stairs and hurting myself(granted I could have probably cleared it that way it would have been more challenging) So, essentially I had to trust myself that I would catch the rails and use them to swing across with. By swinging this way, I am able to soften the landing and not get hurt.(though I still put a little too much weight in my feet, and they were sore for a few minutes afterwards)

It's not all that daring(though were I to have slipped I would have been very hurt) but it was still very satisfying.
