Vault (parkour)
In various urban activities, a vault is any type of movement that involves jumping or leaping over an obstacle while putting weight on it with one's hands. Although Parkour doesn't involve the idea of set movements, practitioners (traceurs) sometimes use similar ways of moving to quickly and efficiently pass over railings, tables, walls, and platforms.
People have created many names for variations on the theme:

Famous quotes containing the word vault:
“Howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stones!
Had I your tongues and eyes, I’d use them so
That heaven’s vault should crack. She’s gone forever.
I know when one is dead and when one lives;
She’s dead as earth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
