On Mars, where gravity is only 38% of Earth's, the same athletic energy used to jump 6 meters on Earth would launch a person 16 meters high, extending flight time to nearly 5 seconds and making Earth's world records seem like warm-ups.

Why the World Record is just a warm-up on MarsAdded:
Forget world records. On Mars, your pole vault sends you over a five-story building. Earth's gravity drags you down. But on Mars, it's only 38%. That means the same energy you use to jump a fence on Earth launches you 16 m high here. You're falling so slowly you actually have time to wave to the crowd while you're still in the air. Our world record of 6 m is just a warm-up on the red planet. Picture the finale. The skeleton sprints, bends the pole, and easily clears the top of a NASA lander.
By the time you touch the dust, you've enjoyed nearly 5 seconds of pure flight.
