It produces a long jump that's almost 5 full feet beyond the record and official or not it's a place where the rules are broken.

I pointed this out on the old Pyramid boards (probably back in 2004) but I've sort of known it since i got my copy of 1e (1986?) and started making a character who abused this rule back then.
