Jumping from a roof into a dumpster is in no way recommended by anybody with good sense. However, if you are being chased by those who wish to do you harm, you may want to be able to make the choice between facing your enemies and taking a chance on a dumpster.
Check out the diagram below to see the tricks involved in the dumpster method.
A lot of this is just taking a huge chance. Even if the dumpster is full of big, squishy-looking bags, there's no telling what is in those bags.
For all you know you could be falling into a big bag of broken lightbulbs or the bags could just be on top, concealing big piles of nail-filled wood.
Then there's the chance of you missing the dumpster completely and landing on the ground like a water balloon, or missing it partially and cracking your head on the side.
At the heart of all this, be careful and pick your battles carefully and hopefully you'll never have to make this decision in the first place.

Makes me cringe
If I have to jump off a building into a dumpster, Ive got 1 foot in the grave already, and have made some really bad life choices.
