The other person doesn’t have to sit down and wait. It’s more about timing. One bounces ever so slightly before the other and one of them ends up getting almost all of the combined momentum making them bounce higher, With the other, having traded that momentum now doesn’t get as much height as normal.
That’s true, I thought the same thing after posting. I still think you get both better results and a better experience if the third person is sitting. You’re definitely right about the timing though. To maximize results you have to very slightly stagger the landing. That’s really something kids learn fairly quickly after some trial and error.
