Yes, it is an incredible jump and an incredible photo.

But: it's not quite as impressive as it seems.

Note that Roger is bent over, so it makes Pete look higher.

Then compare the lowest part of Pete to, say, Rogers legs.  Pete's only as
high as Rogers, er, crotch.

So that makes the jump "only" about 3 feet, tops.

BUT: that doesn't stop it from being a really amazing jump,
