Again, here we have the old chestnut of slamming somebody harmlessly down onto their back, but with the added bonus of compression fractures for Kalisto himself.

Landing from higher up onto the vertical spine is going to transfer all of the impact intended for your opponent up through the spinal column, potentially crushing vertebrae, shattering tailbones and slipping disks - you'd be much better off switching places with the bloke you're supposed to be hurting.

Sure, you could always slam their head into the floor as you go, but do your really want to run the risk of a blow to the nuts from someone else's cranium?
