Broad jumps compared to world record.

Okay, so I did the math for running broad jumps. The world record is 29 feet. To jump that far, you need a basic move of 16 which is nearly 33 mph. The fastest anyone has ever run is 28 mph.
The person who set this world record would probably be really well trained though, but you would need a Jumping skill of 32 to match 16 basic move. Isn't a skill level of that high almost ludicrous?

The only solution I could think of would be to have the jumping skill add a bonus to your jumping distance instead of substituting for basic move (there should be a limit to how much of a bonus this is, since infinite skill doesn't give you magical velocity in a jump). A lot of other systems do this like D&D.
