When you are opening a door, a gate, activating a Chalice Lever, opening a Chest or Coffin, or performing a Visceral Attack, you are completely invincible. You are also immune to Frenzy or Rapid Poison triggering their damage on you if you are performing any of these actions. You are immune to even lethal Fall Damage. This actually extends to a Chalice Dungeon where you can perform a Visceral Attack on an enemy on a bridge and fall off and skip a whole layer of the Chalice.

You need to find a suitable layout. The bridges in the canyon need to be aligned almost perfectly below each other so you can land safely on the bridge below. You're most likely to find such layout in Loran where the canyon with bridges is the most common. Find an enemy to visceral. Easiest is the Loran Silverbeast as it has incredibly lenient parry window. You can parry most of its attacks from their first frame to the last. Position yourself on the edge of the bridge and parry the enemy. Step over the edge and perform the visceral attack at the last moment before you fall. Timing is crucial. The invincibility frames ensure you won't die from the fall. Once you land, reload the game. When you log in again you'll remain on the bridge you've fell on from above.
