Don't try jumping on it, just get the bike in second gear and run with it let the clutch out and it will fire up quickly pull in the the clutch....
I'm not a very fast runner and have a dodgy left leg and weigh around 14 stone, I've managed to do it many times without the bike pulling me off ect ect.
