High jumpers contort their body substantially. When you weight the pedal, the mass of your body hasn't moved appreciably.

Which part of the body is bearing the pressure doesn't matter, it's the position of your body.
Your lower legs have small mass, and moving one down means the other moves up. To have an appreciable change in CG, you'd have to start kissing your front tire.
