The height of the person taking the course?  Or the height from which you'll be jumping?

And if it is the height of the person, are you worried that you are too tall or too short?

And if it is the height from which you'll be jumping, why do you ask?  Are you scared of heights?

To answer your question, you are well within the range of jumpers I've met - from 5'2" (tee hee) right up to 6'8".

Jumping is alot more fun when you are small and light, but worry more about chinups - lack of upper body strength is what precludes most prospects from the jump course.
