Yep, completely off the saddle, bars at...call it, mid-thigh.

As you can imagine, I feel a lot of impact force through my legs and thighs when I do this. I am currently working on another method which keeps my butt int the saddle, but the other day, when I E-stopped, I noticed that I went right back to my Semi-Bailout technique.
