  A liquid jet can stably bounce off a sufficiently soft gel, by following the
contour of the dimple created upon impact. This new phenomenon is insensitive
to the wetting properties of the gels and was observed for different liquids
over a wide range of surface tensions, $\gamma$ = 24--72 mN/m. In contrast,
other jet rebound phenomena are typically sensitive to $\gamma$: jet rebounds
off a hard solid (e.g. superhydrophobic surface) or another liquid are possible
only for high and low $\gamma$ liquids, respectively. This is because an air
layer must be stabilized between the two interfaces. For a soft gel, no air
layer is necessary and jet rebound remains stable even when there is direct
liquid-gel contact.
