I will grant that it has been a couple of years for me ... so if something's changed in FED rules in the past year, I could be wrong.

But we were basically taught that any sort of jumping over (hurdling, etc) was legal unless you go over a standing player or over the head of a player on his knees. This was interp, as the rule does not exactly spell out for you in black and white where the line should be drawn. The actions in the OP were legal.
