help Safety Vault FAQ

How is a safety vault performed in parkour?

The practitioner places both hands on the obstacle while keeping one foot in contact with the surface for added stability. The other leg passes over as the body moves across the obstacle.

Why is the safety vault useful for beginners?

It gives the practitioner three points of contact during much of the movement, which makes it easier to control than a no-touch vault. That extra support helps when learning obstacle clearance and landing control.

What is the main difference between a safety vault and a speed vault?

A safety vault uses both hands and keeps one foot on the obstacle, while a speed vault is designed for faster movement with less contact. The safety vault therefore emphasizes stability over maximum speed.

Is the safety vault only used in parkour competitions?

No. It is a basic parkour technique used in training and practical movement over walls, rails, and other obstacles.
