OK, I think I found the rule covering jumping/hurdling without interference.

8-4-2-c

I guess I was a little confused because diving has its own separate rule (8-4-2-d), but I see now that you can never dive over a fielder in any situation but you can hurdle/jump over a fielder lying on the ground, hence the separate rule for diving.
