- euroderf 3y agoIt should be possible to jump up off the surface at this speed too eh
- jandrese 3y agoProbably difficult to do it as a high jump, but a person on a bike hitting a small ramp could do it no problem, assuming you could even find enough traction to get going fast enough in such light gravity.

- The_Colonel 3y agoNo need for skateboard in that gravity.
- chmod775 3y agoIf you can jump around 128cm high on earth (measured at your center of mass), you can accelerate yourself to more than 5m/s upwards. Most healthy adults should be able to do that, especially with a running start. It's about as much as you need to do to get a passing grade in PE at age 16 in most places. Also in this hypothetical you don't have to fight much gravity while accelerating - only inertia.
- mr_toad 3y agoGetting a running start would be a problem when each step launches you into the “air”.
- AnimalMuppet 3y agoPretty sure I can still do 100 m in less than 20 seconds, so... (Except, as others have said, I wouldn't have the traction to accelerate.)
