No, not at all, else you couldn't jump into open space, which you can. But
if you "come too close" to a gravity well impinging into J-space it will
precipitate you out. In practice I take that to mean "shallow J-space"
near the beginning or end of the jump.
Note use of "can," "will," and "in practice" referring to an utterly
imaginary thing. And I wonder why people can't use the word "unique"
correctly. Physician, euthanize thyself.
