A turn vault involves approaching a railing and placing one hand turned backwards and the other forward. The athlete jumps over the railing turning 180 degrees as they do so, landing with the feet on a lower ledge. They can then drop the remaining distance. This is used to get from a high level to a low level, but provides a break in between which shortens the distance and lessens the impact.
