Very nice Pete, as we both would call each other "Kettengesicht"

Here is some German reading

I've once done a jump like that during a night exercise. I was the driver then and with our night view (=Restlichtverstärker) you can't see anything close to you. So we just jumped down from a bunker's top which provides safety for the staff moving the targets on the shooting range...

...do not jump with the Leopard ten meters wide and two meters down, it hurts a lot

I would imagine.
Out of curiosity, what sort of pressure or force could the tracks and suspension take? Before damage occurs?
From a height, not shell damage.

That stunt was already 4 bumpers in the front

Danasan - Leopard driver?

I remember seeing the guys at Ft. Knox jumping M1s on the live fire range while in Basc Training, as part of the vehicle familiarization training, just marvelling at the fact that they were getting 60-some-odd tons of armoured vehicle airborne... then we got to do it in Bradleys.

No one really can understand just how much really inflexible bits of armoured vehicle there are to slam bits of you into until they've been there and done it. It's really remarkable, the places you find bruises afterwards.
