He didn't Jump.. he flew. And do you believe in God? If you do, you will know the answer. Do you believe Hanumanji, carried the Aushdha Shailam' which contained the Mridhasanjeevani? You know the answer better than anyone else. Are you also aware that, it is from Ramayana and Mahabharata that Germans devloped their fighter jets and Einstein his A-Bomb... Well i hope this clears your doubt. Or maybe you will try harder to understand rather than question.

In Ramayana, as per Valmiki it is stated that Hanuman crossed the ocean by flying. Hanuman had enormous strength and capacity to fly and cross the oceans as he was suposed to be the son of Lord Vayu (Wind god).
Hanuman was born in the Treta Yuga, to Anjana, a female vanara. Anjana was actually an apsara or a celestial being, named Punjiksthala, who, due to a curse, was born on the earth as a female vanara. The curse was to be removed upon her giving birth to an incarnation of Shiva. Anjana was the wife of Kesari, a strong vanara who once killed a mighty elephant that was troubling sages and hermits. He therefore got the name "Kesari", meaning lion, and is also called Kunjara Südana, the elephant killer. The combination of Vanara and the celestial give Hanuman strength, divinity and quick wits – his main characteristics.
At the time that Anjana was worshipping Lord Shiva, elsewhere, Dasaratha, the king of Ayodhya, was performing the Putrakama Yagna in order to have children. As a result, he received some sacred pudding, to be shared by his three wives, leading to the births of Lord Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata and Shatrughna. By divine ordinance, a kite snatched a fragment of that pudding, and dropped it while flying over the forest where Anjana was engaged in worship. Pavan, the Hindu deity of the wind, delivered the falling pudding to the outstretched hands of Anjana, who consumed it. Hanuman was born to her as a result.-

There are many interesting possibilities! One of them is, even those days way back many centuries ago, there was some mode of aerial transportation available to man (and monkies!), and fiction writers capitalised on that, by including it in epic themes! Another possibility is, it is all symbolic, telling you that our potential is limitless, once we embark on a mission with fierce determination! And, so on! But then, Hanumanji could have done that bit of flying, you know, he was after all 'pavanaputra', son of vayu, the wind god! He also had many magical powers and enormous strength!
