   If your bones are legitimately strong, they will not compress. Bones cells are one of the tightest molecular chemical bonds take an incredibly high shear stress. It is your muscles that take the beating from jumping, so i would not worry about it.

   you should jump on grass and wear those shoes who would have much rubber underneath them
