Note: havent played 5e yet, and dont know a lot about parkour, but based on observations of discussion, here's my take.
I think the length of the 'course' / number of obstacles is a key factor (in 3e terms # of obstacles increases DC or decreases bonuses from dex/str checks) Also, is evasion/ getaway the purpose? Pursuit? Improbable destination? Somehow i think that should be factored
Failed checks deserve a save roll since a recovery roll (literally) of a trip/ fall/grip seems just as key as the ability to do the 'course' in the first place.
If the course is known, rolling multiple dice at the same time ( with closest to player being first, like i ching tosses) would be fun.
I like the differences between dex and str obstacles that have been mentioned. I think con should be the determining factor for the number of obstacles one can do before having to more often/ constant con checks.
And just for fun, use cha for style points
