Why do Survivors like to jump off things

Ive chased many Survivors and they tend to like to jump off hill or ledges but this seems to give them no advantage what so ever. In fact 9/10 times i land right on top of them and land an attack right on their head. Can someone please explain the phenomenon.

    1) They made a bad play

    2) Balanced Landing

    3) There are some windows, like at the Thompson House, that aren't horrible to vault through because the survivors' slowdown on landing is balanced out by the killer's slowdown on vaulting.

    No i get the vaulting, that gives the survivors a big advantage of the Killer. I would agree on a bad play, but ive seen it happen again and again, Sometimes theyll even just wait for me to chase them up the hill (idr the map name) and then jump off, but it doesnt slow me down at all like having to vault does.


    Edit: ahh i looked up what balanced landing does, makes sense. But apparently it doesnt work very well, maybe it works better against slower killers
