i guess if you'd do a high safety there's a smaller chance of crushing your fingers but I'd be way too terrified of doing a normal safety. I also think that a high safety on would be cooler

If u grab just above the toe piece it’s chill. Landing on the rail in a grab is mental imo, but as long as when u grab you watch the end of the rail you’ll clear each time

I think your natural instinct would prevent you from landing on your hand basically ever. of course mistakes can happen but for the most part you it is within. you know what to do. peace and love my brother. yoga practice will commence promptly at 6pm tonight don't forget your mat this time.

I do them on disasters all the time, not much different than on a jump. As said above natural instinct makes you let go
