Are there any non "jumping spiders" that can actually jump?

all gnaphosidae can jump. they actually share close kinship with Salticidae, along with Corinnidae, the ground sac spiders.

one family that rivals salticidae in terms of acrobatic prowess is Euticheridae, the true sac spiders.
I do know that true sac spiders are pretty agile.
After all they do pounce on their prey.

You can't convince me that my massive geniculata girl couldn't jump right out of her shirt sized Sterilite onto my bare leg if she wanted to. I generally feed her while sitting on my bed, and there's always this moment when I lift the lid where I feel like we're sizing each other up. Is this the time she goes all Arachnophobia (the movie) on my ass? Or is she hungry enough to wait patiently like a good girl for her crunchy delicious dubia? It's an exercise in nerves, I can tell you! She's gotten big enough to need a bigger habitat, or at least one with higher walls!
