Just a quick wit before I go to Have a long rest. I'm a parkour practitioner almost 2 months. Last friday i'm going to attepmt a long box jump on the street rails. I suceeded and landed. Suddenly my both feet slept then thats all I can recall.
My friends brought me onto the nearest hospital. All I remember is some lab test and stuffs and that painful headache. Im diagnosed to have "intercranial hemorrage" and just minor headshock due to head injuries. Thank goodness that "im alive, thinking clearly, no worries for surgical operations. I just need to recover fast to continue and explore new things! Thanks

First of all, intracranial hemorrhage is not a small deal. IT IS LIFE-THREATENING. 100% OF THE TIME. Even a prompt treatment may end in death. You are incredibly blessed that you appear to have recovered fully this time, but if you go right back to the rails and do this again, you might not be so lucky next time. And that's setting aside any vague "head injuries" that you got on top of this. Downplaying it is not cool.
You fucked up. Big time.
A friend of mine who has been practicing parkour for eight years wanted me to pass this to you:
'Two months is not a long time to be practicing parkour. You should have your ukemis perfected before thinking about rail precisions. Take it slow. Rail precisions themselves can actually be fine during your first two months if you're good at it, but it's specifically trying to throw a long jump into a rail that fucked you over. That angle of impact makes a huge difference on if you'll grip or slip. If you want to throw such a big move so early in your career, AT LEAST practice it into the ground at a nice padded gym first. I wasn't there so I wouldn't know, but I'm guessing that your feet didn't suddenly slip; you had a ton of forwards momentum you didn't dissipate and you probably fell as soon as you touched rail. Just getting your feet on top of it without stopping is not "landing and succeeding" it. What you did (and are doing with this journal) is not ok for you and it's also not okay for the parkour community as a whole because it's exactly behavior like this that gives the discipline a bad rep for being dangerous and something not meant for "normal people". You need to get your shit together and have some sense of scale and severity.'
So no, you don't need to "recover fast to continue and explore new things". By all means we wish you a swift recovery. But we also want you to reflect on how stupid that was and how to keep yourself safe and from sustaining SERIOUS LIFE-THREATENING INJURY next time. And thank your friends. They are the first reason you are still alive.
