Well with the new update I was playing around with the ladders and I got an idea to make a structure that lets you fall off of your tower/sky base and not get hurt. After playing around with it for a bit I came up with this
You make it so that it's 2 blocks wide, 3 blocks up, and however long you want it. If you make it any wider then the ladders wont catch you if you fall in the center. The reason you make it 3 blocks up is so that when you hit the ground the ladders don't effect you anymore and you can run under the structure if you want.

After landing there is no health lost and you're free to run in which ever direction you please. Enjoy!
True. If you had the time you could just make a shaft that goes straight down coming from your exit door. That way you'd get rid of that risk. If you don't want to do that though just make sure to walk straight and try not to hit it. It's not that hard to fall in between the lines.
