Default It's not the jumping......

...it's the landing. At least he will not be banging his head on a steel top.

There are pictures of such drivers wearing some kind of wide leather "kidney belt" back brace over top of their coveralls........ and I don't think it was meant to keep them warm.

Just remember to keep your teeth far from the steering wheel.

Nice site though.
