Invalid World Records
If a jumper touches the ground with his hands or body before reaching the fall line, the jump is counted as a fall and the jumper receives a severe penalty to the style score, although the jumper is not disqualified from the race. Also fully standing jumps WR jumps set in training are not recognized as world records. Such jumps are also not regarded as setting world records in distance. The following is a list of jumps which would have set world records, had the jumper not fallen.

Famous quotes containing the words invalid, world and/or records:
“The invalid is a parasite on society. In a certain state it is indecent to go on living. To vegetate on in cowardly dependence on physicians and medicaments after the meaning of life, the right to life, has been lost ought to entail the profound contempt of society.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If God lets me live, I shall attain more than Mummy ever has done, I shall not remain insignificant, I shall work in the world and for mankind!”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
