If XX part of your torso fails to land in the preferred landing zone (as set by the ASTM) 3 times, you are done jumping. Whatever height you cleared is your final height.

There's no generally accepted amount of torso that has to land in the PLZ yet... I think it should be ANY part of the torso, some people think it should be more.

The preferred landing zone is the white (or whatever color) square you see in the middle of some newer pits.


I realy, realy like it for high school. We should ask for the changes.
