Can they jump? It just seems unlikely that such a tiny, slow-moving bug could attach itself to someone moving quickly by branch or leaf.

Their feet are basically Velcro®. They have little hooks on their toes that latch onto your hair, clothes or skin as you brush past them.
The ticks climb up to the very tips of blades of grass or the tips of leaves, then they stretch out their little Velcro® hands, and wait for you or any other animal to brush against them, and they grab on.
