As someone who has actually done that, tumbling is really bad. The titanium artifacts in my foot and leg are a permanent reminder of it.

Stick to plain sliding and trust your leathers.

Which is fine, except when the seams split due to the stitching disintegrating, and you end up with a large friction burn.

I needed a skin graft.

Or the jacket double-backing over, exposing the skin. I lost half-pound of skin & flesh to it. Didn't get the graft though.

PS: That's waaay better than tumbling...
