Crazy? Yes. Possible? Probably Not. But how awesome would it be if you could double jump in real life?!
Double Jump
Concept »
A double jump is the ability to jump while already in mid-air to get some extra lift. In reality, double jumps are not possible and violate fundamental laws of physics.
Double Jumping in Real Life
I used to think it was possible when I was really young to jump off of some object while in freefall. Like, "Oh, if a plane is crashing, I'll just grab a chair and jump out, and just before hitting the ground, I'll jump up off the chair, and land unharmed."
The really rad thing is going back to Gamespot and talking to the people who still think it's possible.
"It's not so much impossible in real-life, as unnecessary - if the ability was granted through the use of jet-packs or whatever, then it would never be described as a double jump anyway.Why would jumping and then flying up using a jetpack be a double jump?
"
I don't see any logic in that.
"You can also bunny-hop. If you repeatedly jump whenever you go anywhere your acrobatics skill increases.I find the best way to increase acrobatics skills is to jump off cliffs fairly often, easy way to become a circus person in nooo time.

" This thread should go dormant for a year and then the same guy should bump it again... that would mean he did a double bumpZING!

Yo. You posted for the first time in the 2 years since you've made an account to bump a 4 year old thread about double jumping?
Some crazy shit huh?
Scientists could totally make this happen by putting magnets in our shoes and counteracting gravity. Trust me, I went to science camp once.
@killerfly: I just want to dunk once to see how it feels.
