High-jumping Kerbals

[KeaKaka]

Small problem related to kerbal weight (I think) in the latest release. (1.11.0) 

When a Kerbal jumps on Kerbin with just a parachute or nothing at all, they appear to jump a lot higher than normal, e.g: 2 to 2.5, maybe 3 meters in height, vs the regular just under a meter.

NOTE: I play with JNSQ which impacts results slightly.

Kerbals no longer carry a heavy rcs backpack by default.

Doh! Didn't see it was already answered.

This is intended- a Kerbal without the heavy RCS pack and parachute is now a lot lighter than before so can jump significantly higher and faster- I saw over 4m/s from a standing jump, pretty impressive considering they’re still wearing spacesuits! It does make things a little bit problematic though as they can jump so high that their legs crumple on landing...
