Just make sure not to jump from zero-gravity point!

How cool is that! I hope I get old enough to experience when space elevators become reality!

At the surface of the moon gravitational acceleration is about 1.6 meters/sec/sec so depending on your elevation above the surface your falling speed towards the surface would increase 1.6 meters/sec for every second you fell.

Will jump tickets on the moon be 6 times cheaper as the consequence?

Safety tip: the temperatures during the day reach 253F (123C), so watch out for density altitude!
