Default Any tricks to walking down a roof?

Walking up the roof is actually pretty easy, but walking down it is not.
Walking forward I feel like I might fall, and walking backwards is
really clumsy. I think it is just harder to keep your weight over your
feet going down than up.
How is it best done?

You tie a long rope to the bumper of the car, and then throw it over
the roof to use as a safety line.
