Why do most sw jump anyway? Would they do that naturally in the ocean?
Certain fish like wrasses, gobies, jawfish, are more skittish than many, and it doesn't take much to make them launch. A sudden scare, trying to get away from an aggressor, etc..
Many eels get out simply due to their curiosity.
In a closed system there isn't anywhere else to go but up. Larger fish are less apt to take the leap of faith, but any fish can jump. I've heard of lionfish carpet surfing before.
Having some type of barrier/top is really a good idea.

I also had my $35 Emporer Snapper jump during feeding. The canopy was open and for whatever reason, he jumped. I got him back in the tank in time but... That was the most exciting feeding day I have had in a while...
It helps to have a canopy that is fully sealed... And for overflows, the strainers help too.

One thing... in the ocean their normal habitat is way deeper than what are tanks are so the surface is not that close. Even if they get spooked, they don't jump above the water level.
