                DVT is a big worry amongst professional riders, too. A co-worker of mine had an issue with it on a flight once. Not pleasant.

                          I wonder how small a moon/planetoid/... would have to be such that one can escape with a jump.

                            @Klaus Would depend on the density, of course. The mass is easy enough to calculate assuming 1200 Nm force and say 82kg average mass.

                              @jon-nyc of course it turns out there is an escape velocity calculator...

                              Looks like a planet needs to be pretty heavy before it can prevent you from jumping into the universe.
