Speculating; there is a way to train that does not damage the knees, and sitting properly in a stance removes pressure in the knees (ex. a ji-ben 'gong'). It is almost as if there was a break in transmission and when the art was reconstructed they went directly to the high level and didn't retain certain training methods to work up into the high level, thus causing knee damage (and other kinds of damage such as damage from stomping, has been noted) as well as other types of damage....

I think you are barking up the wrong tree with this. Sometimes a short hop is just a short hop. This is pretty standard Chen training, nothing magical or mystical. I'm not aware of Chen practitioners being famous for flying skills - except, maybe, in the movies.
