Flea's can jump 130 times higher than their own height. In human terms this is equal to a 6ft. person jumping 780 ft. into the air.

Fleas can jump that high BECAUSE they're tiny. (I think it's called the square-cube law: basically muscle cross-section increases quadratically with size but volume - and thus mass - increases cubicly) If you scaled a flea up to a human's size, it would hardly be able to stand.
