A three-foot vertical jump is pretty damned good . . . but it's jaw-droppingly awesome when the jumper weighs 360 pounds.
That's quite badass. I remember seeing a quick blurb in Volleyball Magazine (free subscription with region registration, yay) that had different verticals listed and I remember the one was "56+": Here's the number for the Team USA Volleyball coach. Please call us."

(My best vertical was still something super pathetic like 16" or less.)

I usually just take the elevator.

Jumping is a waste of energy. You just fall back to earth again pretty quickly. Some sooner than others, it is true, but nobody gets stuck up in the air.

Wow, that is impressive.

I could do that in high school: the distance from floor to stage in the theater was about 3 feet, and I could jump it with ease. I think if I tried it now, my shins would shoot out my knees, if I came anywhere near actually making the jump.
