Tabletops are pointless.
If you’re clearing a gap, you’re clearing a gap. If you don’t have the skill, dont attempt it. The danger in jumping isn’t coming short, it’s simply being out of control in the air, a tabletop cant fix that.
As soon as you approach a jump with the intention of landing on the top, it becomes habit and you build up bigger, harder to break mental barriers.
Also as mentioned, too much extra unnecessary work.
You can still fall of the side of a tabletop.
As always, the safest thing is to operate within your own limits.
All that’s well and good for experienced jumpers, but tabletops are useful for people learning to jump. You don’t know what you can clear until you try. It’s best not to figure that out by repeatedly landing in a hole.
