Some of us would fall, some would fart and most would land on their feet. As for the Earth, not a thing would happen.

The question is usually asked in a less PC way, in that if all the people in China jumped at once... so that it would represent an unbalanced force of 1/3 of the world's population. In any case, the resulting effect is the same: nothing would happen to the planet.

Even if all of humanity had enough mass to influence Earth by jumping up all at once (..which they don't), you have to remember that humanity is spread all over the planet. The force their landing all at the same time generated would be fairly evenly distributed around Earth, effectively cancelling.

Nothing at all. They would all be jumping towards the center so the people on one side would cancel out the effect of people on the other side- if there were any effect. The mass of all humans combined is not that great compared to earths mass- not even one percent.

we'd all have fun and feel united... good exercise i guess. there really wouldn't be earthquakes or anything. if everyone in a building jumped, there might be structural damage.
