Is this legal in High Jump?

Question

ok, you're up in the air, over the bar...your back just barely touches the bar, sliding it to the edge of the standards, is it legal, while you're in the air, to move the bar back with your hands? If so, what are the disadvantages of doing so?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Nope, you can't legally steady the bar. Listed as my source is a PDF containing some of the USA Track and Field Associations rules, this is on page 104 under number 3 section c.
