What would jumping into Jupiter be like compared to jumping on the moon? How do you know?

We can only speculate and hypothesize since we can’t actually jump into Jupiter. However, as proven during the Apollo missions, the less mass a celestial body has, the weaker the gravity. Meaning that jumping into the moon would take a while for you to land. And jumping into Jupiter would take a short amount of time because of the high mass. However you would only last a few seconds, as the atmospheric pressure would crush you a millisecond after you gain speed.
