Seems to me you're scaring the crap out of him. Taunting him like that is just mean.

Make sure he can't get out again. Falling and roaming around the house is just dangerous.

To me, that doesn't look like a frog jumping...it looks like a turtle that feels something touching his back, doesn't know what it is, and is trying to get away from it.
Make your tank more escape proof.

It sounds like something must have really freaked him out and that might have been why he got out of his enclosure (it's an outdoor tub right?) and was trying to get in the house. That's really cute that he was knocking at the glass door trying to get it!
But I wonder if there was an animal that was trying to get him and that's what got him so wound up and spooked.

I think he made the video to show us what he was talking about, so we could give better advice. But I agree, he looks freaked out and that could be why he is jumping.
But... Greek is there a possibility he injured himself during his escape? Does anyone else think he isn't really using his back legs much? Just a thought... don't mean to be scary.
