The mechanism that ejects the blade adjusts based on tension. ...............................Okay, now tell me how exactly that would prevent the sword(s) from getting even slightly stuck in the ground when extending with the amount of force that would be required for a jump to even be possible.

It's not even in soft ground, but ground in general. It could work in a hard, hard surface, like a rock or concrete, but otherwise the sword would get stuck, even if momentarily, which ruins the "jump boost".

....Actually, the weight of the swords alone would prevent them from being useful for a jump-boost as you try to say.

As for your last paragraph: I already argued in favor of all those points. But they don't really prove how you could make a jump by extending the swords with great force. A gymnastic move followed by the sword extending makes perfect sense, but it's not what you're trying to say, and would not extend the jump nor the user.
