T1 - 4.3 How thick is each mat panel and how tall is the athlete in the video?

Just tried out assisted back roll and was wondering for reference, how tall the athlete in the video is and how thick each mat panel is? I have a similar looking mat the puts me 8" from the ground. Seemed a bit high. I couldn't stand anywhere near as smoothly. This is where I'll be for a bit.

The mat in the video looks 6-8" off the ground, which is about right for a panel mat.

 

Smoothness comes with practice

Use a panel mat that is 2" thick and then folds into 4-6 sections.

 

How many sections the panel mat is will depend upon its length; 4 sections equals 8 feet long etc.

Thanks. It was just a bit scary to roll backwards without my hands immediately touching the floor, so I thought it was too high
