Yeah, that's why I find it so annoying. Apparently, in the movie universe, if a Jumper has time to really concentrate, the jump rot can be minimized, but panic jumps will take quite a bit of stuff with them.
Also, in the book, David tried to jump while handcuffed to part of a structure and can't. In the movie, a character says a Jumper killed himself trying to do that, then later, David jumps and takes a large chunk of Millie's apartment building with him. Very annoying!
Really don't see why they couldn't just do Jumper as it was written. You'd think an anti-terrorism story would have sold... but noooo, they gotta introduce the people trying to catch/kill the Jumpers.
Maybe Reflex will clarify that part. We've got it on order at the local bookstore... and yes, they've got several copies of Jumper and Griffin's Story in stock now.
