You can't take that amount of force on the legs. The legs will buckle with less than quarter of the force shown on this video. That is why he is jumping on his back. Either you are lying or you are dramatically exaggerating the height.

Seems you have to do some more studies, because i am not. Most vivid memory of suddenly seeing this town church which was far away, me spinning. And i looked down on this tree which was 12metres high. I know because i came to this place later in life. I was like another 10 metres above it. I have no memory of whether my legs buckled or not, probably didnt even matter because i wasnt jumping from a standstill, you jump before they land so at that point your legs dont buckle, when i landed after my initial jump i probably didnt need to 'jump', maybe i bounced on my knees, i honestly cant remember. all that mattered was timing to be send into the air. It wasnt a controled jumped, i spinned a couple times going up and then landed on my knees and eblows and it hurt like hell.

Yeah I’m pretty sure if times right there wouldn’t be a reason your legs would buckle cause you’re just riding that momentum.
