Once you unlock this perk (require’s learning of Eden’s Gift, part of the story), it will allow you to perform a double-jump, with the second jump gives you a boost on jump height and distance. You can however, use this ability to break a fall, regardless of height. Since you can only use this ability in mid-air once, proper timing is needed to survive the fall. It is recommended to press jump just a few meters before hitting the ground. Doing this successfully is also required to unlock the Springboard trophy.
