A conversation pit is an architectural feature that incorporates built-in seating into a depressed section of flooring within a larger room.

The conversation pit was popular from the 1950s to the 1970s, seen across Europe as well as North America. Modernist architects Eero Saarinen and Alexander Girard used a conversation pit as the centerpiece of the influential Miller House (1958) in Columbus, Indiana, one of the earliest widely publicized applications of the concept. A red conversation pit (since covered, but recently restored) was later incorporated by Saarinen into the 1962 TWA Flight Center at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
So I assume the goal is to run in and jump over and land on the sofa on the other side of the pit, and the way you land the more comfy and poised for conversation you are the better the conversation will be? I drew it out to illustrate my meaning https://i.postimg.cc/NfBvfmwz/run-and-jump.webp
That's probably a 10/10 landing I drew
That's a textbook 7.5/10. No doubt it's a solid landing, but a lounge lay is hardly the most technical landing you'll see in a modern pit jumping competition. Elite jumpers can land with one foot on the central table, the other leg crossed, a pillow providing lumbar support, and all without spilling their bourbon.
