I bought one of those when it was on sale and adjusted it as far as it would go. I could NOT get my bike out of it... bouncing or any other way. I'm just too short... the stand wound up just sliding across the garage floor.

I now have a Condor chock, which has a cradle you can adjust more than any other stand. I moved the pivot point of the cradle forward, which means there's less "up and over" to get the bike out. Love it.
Yes I do not think you could bounce it out if you are short. I am a bit over 5'10" but the point is bouncing backwards works
I got it from Cycle Gear, same difference, cheap but has been doing the job for a few years now
