I am about 175 or 180 kg., plan to be traveling at the usual bed-jumping-off speeds, have the typical drywayll installed as far as I am aware of, and have a very springy bed which I can get great height on whenever I jump on it.
I have hit my head several times on the ceiling which is approximately 2.5 m high whenever I jump on my bed, and I am just worried about denting the ceiling...

Ooops...I converted kg. to lbs. so that most people here would understand what I mean...out of habit, I put "kg." at the end of my weight!
I mean 175 to 180 POUNDS...sorry! :)

to other answerers of this question:
to joshuaP, no, drywall is only half an inch thick and easily broken being made of 2 layers of paper and a easy to crumble gypsm substance, it is the supporting studs behind it that prevent it from taking damage when you lightly bump it.
my answer:
depending on how tall you are, and the height of the bed, this is only a lucky guess. if i were you, i would stick with the flag pole, furby killing, and bedsheet hang gliding, but it's your choice. i think it is very possible to do so with little damage to yourself, but you will have to be very percise on where you hit the ceiling to ensure you do not hit any of the joists in the ceiling (boards going across to support floor/ceiling above you) plus you would want to monitor how high you jump so your head doesn't hit the floor/roof above and you dont get a mouth full of fiberglass insulation when you go through the drywall.

Less than it takes to dent your head. Of course if you weigh that much and like to jump on your bed, I'd be worried more about those on the floor below you than the ceiling above. 180KG = about 400 pounds.

I wouldn't worry about it. You'll likely injure your head and neck before you you dent the drywall.

So are you done with placing your underpants on a flag pole?
