Best Answer

Jumping from two feet is not allowed since it is possible to perform a gymnastic tumble ending with a final bounce from two feet which would permit a higher jump. Basically it's limited to one foot to maintain the event as it is currently known, but the high jump is NOT the highest a human can jump unaided, and so it not a 'pure' event like the long jump, or 100m.
