I don’t think it’s lack of Oxygen as I have a pump connected to a waterfall, plus plenty of Oxygenating plants. Any ideas?

The two main causes of koi jumping is either poor water quality or a parasite infection.
I suggest that you check your ammonia nitrate and nitrite levels with test kits from your local aquarist shop. If the levels are ok then you should suspect a parasite infection. If you don’t have the technology or knowledge of how to take a skin scrape from a fish then maybe your local dealer will be able to offer such a service. Another possibility would be a local koi club or keen hobbyist who might be willing to check your fish.
Good Luck

Theyre having fun
Mine get very playful in the breeding season, and roll and flip out of the water. Just wait till next year when you find your fish population has doubled or more
maybe they’re born again dolphins…
You must make sure the water is clean and check the ammonia (NO3), phosphorus (PO4) concentrate, pH, total hardness
It is very rarely an activity due to enjoyment and happiness but more often an indication of irritation.
Check the quality of the water and look for signs of any parasitic infection on the fish
carp love to eat flies they could be jumping for them
your jokes are that bad !!!!!!
