Depends which variety of flea... Of the 1830 varieties of fleas, the champion jumper is the cat flea. It has been known to leap as high as 34 inches. This may not sound impressive, but consider that jumping to such a height relative to body size the flea is subjecting itself to over 200 g's. If a person leaped this high and fast, the g force endured would be as if they weighed 20,000 pounds. The flea takes off with greater acceleration than the Space Shuttle.
