<p>Native speakers might find it somewhat more natural to say &quot;he was so happy that he jumped&quot; i.e. 高兴得跳了起来 rather than  &quot;he jumped happily&quot; 高兴地跳了起来. The adverbial particle 地 is not commonly used compared to adverbs in English. You would encounter it more often in translated and/or scholastic texts where the grammar is more Europeanized. Granted, this is only applicable in a written context.</p>
<p>On the other hand one cannot ordinarily use single-syllabic content words like 高 in the predicate.</p>
<ol>
<li>*他高兴得跳得高。 Instead,</li>
<li>他高兴地跳得很高/老高/三尺高/高高的。</li>
</ol>
<p>A simple tip for learners is that one may precede single syllables with the intensifier &quot;很&quot; whenever possible. It's ok to say 小王很高 even if you consider 小王 merely a bit tall. The intensifier is used for the sole purpose of avoiding saying *小王高 and carries little actual meaning.</p>

<p>It's grammatically correct. However because 的地得 have the same pronunciation in Mandarin, in practical usage, there is always a priori assumption of their placement. An uncommon usage will only cause confusion since people will always attempt to understand it using their own assumption of particles.</p>

“we do NOT say, (1a) 她伤心地哭得很厉害。”。。。

But it's possible to find many, many examples of Chinese people using just this structure. So I would say it's maybe not perfect grammar, but it still seems quite colloquial. Like (examples found on the net):
- ... 转而感动地哭得稀里哗啦...
- 婴儿挥手蹬脚地哭得厉害
And many more.

的 here should be either 地 or 得, with slightly different nuances, but that aside, I find this phrasing much more natural than alternatives given by other answers such as 他高兴地跳得很高.

As far as I learnt, there are no restrictions about the use of 地 and 得 at the same sentence. The structure only focused on what must come after the 地 and 得, but never explained if they can be used together. So it supposed to be fine to use both in the same sentence, but just a bit strange for the audience (listener or reader).

You can say, 他高兴地跳了起来。跳得很高。

The word 的 is used to modify nouns. So it is for adjectives.

The words 地 and 得 are both to modify verbs. So they are both for adverbs. I think this is the reason they do not stay together. For example, we do NOT say,

(1a) 她伤心地哭得很厉害。

But you can split this sentence into two sentences.

Or you can use 着 instead of 得。

他高兴地跳着脚。跳得很高。

Or,

Two interpretations of "得":

* "跳**得**高" - "**Able to** jump up high". Note that this is a complete/independent phrase, which does not require a modifier.
* "**跳得**高高的" - "**Jumped** very high". Note that "very high" indicates the extent of the "jump", and the phrase can be modified by the adverb "高兴地" - "高兴地跳得高高的".
