What would be the highest level anyone could survive jumping unassisted?

Reading your most recent book, Do Polar Bears Get Lonely?, I was intrigued by the question: What's the highest level someone can free-fall? (or marked above as Free-Falling) and therefore wondered what would happen if you were to do jump unassisted.

If I jumped down a hole which went from one end of the earth to the other, would I pass straight through it?

The hole would be completely straight and heatproof.

Is it true that elephants are the only quadrupeds that can't jump?

We've heard that elepahtns are the only quadrupeds that can't jump. Is it true? If so, why not? And if it's not true, how high can they jump?

Journey to the centre of the earth?

If I was to take a huge heat-proof tube and stick it through the very centre of the earth and then jumped down it, what would happen when I reached the middle? Would I float at the very centre?
