Needing just one good jump to win the competition means that the competitors are pushing the envelope towards perfection, teetering right on the edge of failure. If they were to take the average of all the jumps, I would bet the jumps would be shorter.

That said, the men's gold medal was decided by who had the best second best jump, as there was a tie for best jump. So consistency does matter under the current system.
