Background
Bailing occurs in at least two forms. The first form is an unintentional ''fall/crash'' (loss of control) through loss of balance, foot/object contact with wheel, loss of traction, speed wobbles, etc. The second form is a ''controlled bail'', which implies some level of control loss, but is not considered to be an especially painful bail as injury level is reduced. A third form of bailing can mean a slide (sliding out) or maneuver executed in a controlled and practiced manner to avert a hard fall that may cause injury. Sliding out occurs with the full use of pads, especially knee and hand/wrist protection. 'Running it out' is a maneuver whereby the rider completely steps or jumps off of an object such as a skateboard and runs to slow down remaining momentum.See also
