I'm going to go ahead and deny this suggestion. While it is technically canon - it isn't practical in a Minecraft sense. Airbenders in Minecraft focus on speed and taking the time to bounce could be a waste of time (albeit, a small one). This is almost a purely cosmetic change that just isn't needed.
Please be careful about necroposting, it is against the rules.Ok. I was about to say gliding would had been the best option when falling from great height and reaching the last air block on the ground.
