I have practiced parkour as well and consider it similarly less than optimally useful. Aside from a few basic vaults, most moves are not practical unless you anticipate a foot chase through dense terrain with a determined pursuer, in which case altering other aspects of your behavior may prove more useful.
In terms of actually getting out of dangerous situations fast, practicing moving through crowds quickly is almost certainly more useful than parkour.
That said, parkour is really fun and a good workout to boot.

I can do that, but I guess the technique I use only works for large people (I’m 1.88 m (6′2″), 93 kg (205 lb)).
