Exactly. :-) This is just the way the game is built because it makes sense from a programming point of view.

Even so, I think of it this way: Jack prepares himself to land when he jumps, so he can fall (from the height of his jump) further. When he simply walks of a ledge, he isn't fully prepared for the landing, and so he can not fall so far.

BTW, I hope people don't mind me resurrecting year-old threads! The information is still relevant. :-)
