In a Single Bound

In a Single Bound: Played Straight.

With humanities spread throughout the solar system and pushing into space via the Gate Relays many a number of rocks have been found where a simple jump from a baseline human can lead to exiting orbit of said rock.

Also massively popular in most microgravity habs is a very advanced and dangerous game of horse, where one tries to set up a near impossible leap that others have to copy without launching themselves into space. In regular or simulated gravity most Commonwealth citizens who are using civil service body mods and Exo-Suits are capable of feats of athleticism that would have been the envy of any 21st-century Olympic competitor.

Some drones and bots also use a "hopper" based form of propulsion where nanite assembled muscle analogs can fling a 20-kilo robot into the air at an average height of 10 meters in standard gravity. Though this is often not equipped on larger bots used in low or microgravity habitats, as the associated repairs and rep damage can be extreme.
