The tackler will make contact with a player's waist and then swing his or her weight behind him/her to drop the player to the ground. This technique can cause serious injuries to the players' ankles or legs. It is also called a high tackle.
Avoid illegal tackles
It is important to avoid illegal tackles during rugby. Under certain circumstances, illegal tackles can lead to penalties or yellow or red cards. There are ways to stay on the field and avoid being penalized.
High tackles
High tackle is one of the most illegal moves in rugby football. High tackles can cause serious neck and head injuries.
Contact head/neck
Referees have to take action if they see a player’s arm making contact with their neck or head. Head/neck Contact is a serious offence and could result in a yellow or a green card depending upon the severity of the tackle. The risk of head/neck contact must be known by all players and they must take every precaution to avoid it.
Leg drive
Leg drive tackles, a type in rugby of tackle, are where a player drives his knee through contact with a ball carrier. If done correctly, this type tackle improves the quality and turnover rate of a team. The technique should be practiced by players. The players can do this exercise in three groups. In the first, the player accelerates while making a low dynamic tackle. The ball carrier is driven down three metres or so. The player must then stand up and carry on the exercise.
Body position during a tackle
It is vital that a tackler has a good body position in rugby. The tackler should be in a position that is close to the ball carrier's shoulder and any other part of his body. The tackler should start slowly and move closer to his target. He should keep his arms close to his body and his eyes on the ball carrier.
'Lift' tackles
NRL tightened lifting tackle laws, which could lead to dangerous situations for the opposition. Under the new laws, a player must not lift an opponent above the horizontal level or drop their opponent so that their head and upper body make contact with the ground. To avoid injury, a player must quickly pull himself out.
Straight-arm tackles
Straight-arm tackles in rugby use the straight arm with a back-to front contact. It is hard to knock back or deflect a high-impact tackle, making it an important skill in rugby. Forwards frequently use this technique when chasing down runners.
'Spear’ tackles
Spear tackles is a type illegal tackle that is used in rugby union, Rugby league, and Australian Rules Football. This tackle involves throwing your opponent into the air and dropping them on their neck, back, or head.
Legal solutions
Legal tackles in rugby are those that leave the ball carrier in possession. A tackle happens when a player grabs a ball and brings it down to the ground. The tackler must release it as soon as possible after he or she has fallen from the tackle. This will give all other players an opportunity to try for the ball.

How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping (also called free-fall Parachuting) allows participants to jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), including bridges, towers and buildings, with no equipment attached. The participant uses their parachute safely to land from the object. This is similar to skydiving except that you don't need to use a parachute and you don't have to wait for it to open.
A wingsuit jumper is the most popular type of base jumper. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. The jumper wears special boots that allow him/her to stand upright during flight. Jumpers pull the straps that attach to their feet tightly during descent. The material covering the legs will bunch up and create a large pocket under the body. When the air pocket grows large enough, jumpers can open their parachute to land safely.
Base jumpers often use powered suits to get through the air quicker. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust, which propels the jumper forward. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. There are several ways to die while doing BASE jumping: you could fall off a steep cliff, hit an obstacle head-on, upside down or collide with another jumper. BASE jumping, while not always dangerous is dangerous. However, it can be very dangerous if done improperly. You can avoid injury by following these safety tips before trying to BASE jump.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. Watch out for weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Foggy skies should be avoided. If your vision is less than 10ft in front of you, you may need a break until the clouds clear. The third thing you should do is make sure that you have all the gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, ensure you have a plan. For any problems, have someone else follow you. Don't jump alone. Always have someone watching over you.
