The question is - how can you increase the maximum controllable speed in the one-leg jump?

As a side note, watch his left arm twist and coil 
(0:20 for example)

Yeah I completely agree. Plus the squats target many more muscles so... there ya have it.
However I did hip thrusts in the past and they were pretty good, I'm jumping higher now despite barely squatting 120x3 yesterday so... there has to be something (I also do kettlebell swings which are basically "power" hip thrusts)

I remember Kelly talking about this in the past, and if I remember right, it was supposed that it helps to push off the big toe with the feet and therefore involve the glutes better (not sure what the actual mechanism is, but that's what I remember).
Me personally - I use it when I jump off two feet without the ball in hand. I feel like I can gather more energy this way, like it gives me better rhythm etc, hard to really explain.

Why don't you give Joel Smith's program a try. I did it in the past and was jumping ~36-38 off one leg then.

That's just retarded. And then they probably come in and complain that "strength training causes injuries and long term damage".

Can you drop the bar in the gym you're training in? (when you clean etc)
I can't so when I "drop down" my bar to my thigs from the catch position it really loads the spine and the back... kinda sucks
