Unlock the Secret of a Gravity-Defying Parkour Stunt—With Physics!

SMRTR summary

Parkour masters can scale buildings by jumping between vertical surfaces, using friction and physics to their advantage. This technique requires precise timing, strength, and speed, with jumpers needing to exert over 1,400 newtons of force in just 0.12 seconds to execute each rebound and overcome gravity.
