it happened to me a couple years ago... was jumping a 30 foot table... about 10 feet in the air... with leaky seals... i overshot the table by a few feet, and blew my seals.... best bet just fix the leak and save money... better spend money on that, than more on blown seals

2 things that will help.
1- Use seals from the dealer. They hold up the best.
2- Have your suspension revalved. My boys get 3 to 4 months out of theirs and have them changed regardless of leaking or not. They have jumped as far as 240' at the dunes but the toughest hits are at the FMX events where they are up to 30' high.
