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.)
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.
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.
