== == On 19 July 1988, at a performance in The Hague, the Chinese acrobat Yan Zhi Cheng jumped (without trampoline or any assistance) through a hoop of which the lowest point was measured at 246 cm. He used two legs to set off, so his jump isn't the official world record. However, it is the highest human jump ever recorded. Source: Guinness Book of Records 1989.

Legend streetballer Chris "Skywalker" Lowery may have one of the highest documented at 50". This incredible standing vertical as well as a sport coupe clearing dunk was exhibited on a recent episode of "FSN Sport Science":

Whomever had listed Adam Harrell previously was sorely mistaken. At 41", his vertical is on the low end of average NBA verticals today. As stated in the video, verticals in the NBA now average in the low to mid 40's.

Both the standing jump (straight vertical) and standing long jump have not been Olympic events since 1912, when they were discontinued. Ray Ewry held all the standing jump records, with his standing long jump record of 3.47 meters being most impressive until the sport was discontinued at the world level in 1938. There are rumours of 3.6 having been accomplished since, but since it is no longer a world class sport, they are difficult to verify.
