The object of the event is to somehow approach the bar, jump, and get the body over the bar starting with the arms and head followed by the hips, and eventually by the feet, leaving the bar still resting on the supports..
The jump should occur such that the hips go over the middle of the bar which, because of sagging, is the lowest point of the bar.
the goal is to jump such that the first thing that hits the mat are the jumper's shoulders and not their rear end, plus the act of plopping on a mat is generally considered fun by all..

When jumping at higher heights, the athlete needs to be sure to have patience and wait to begin bar clearance when he is high enough for it to be a factor.
This is a crucial component to the approach run for the highjump, since overcoming this lean during takeoff creates rotation that allows the athlete to clear the bar.
The specific techniques of the run are just as crucial to excellent highjumping as are those of bar clearance, and must be practiced as often and as attentively to exact details.
These jumps should be done from the standing position with emphasis placed on landing on the upper portion of the back rather than on the neck or the buttocks.
These jumps should also be over a low height with the emphasis on going up with the back to the pit and allowing the momentum to carry the body into the pit.

The first four steps in a straight line and the last 5 on a curve that prepares your body for the rotation that must occur later when your shoulders twist to bring your back to the bar.
If you are landing outside of the two uprights, you may be in danger of missing the landing mats (which will hurt a lot) and you may need to adjust the position you are taking off from.
Becoming comfortable with landing on your upper back and shoulders is probably the biggest fear you need to overcome when learning how to highjump.
