www.2001.edmonton.com/index.asp?l=en and p=320 High Jump Over the centuries, high jumpers have used many different techniques to get over the bar including the scissors, feet first, western role and straddle. The flop, a backwards jump, that was introduced in 1968 (with the introduction of a thick cushioned landing mattress), has been used by all the top jumpers since 1978.
