0From your answer, I feel you think the sentence is unnatural. If so, could you suggest a better sentence?02br

0I would say she jumped FROM the cliff or OFF the cliff. I don't know how you jump OVER a cliff.02br
02br
00If she fell 300 feet, I can't believe that cuts were all she sustained. Perhaps that's what's so unnatural.0-
