This is an easy fix albeit I will caution you, what I refer to as 'chain jumping' is one of the more dangerous scenarios when riding a bicycle. Each time it jumps, from pushing hard on the pedal, the worse it becomes.
Some weeks ago I started to have the problem that when applying a lot of power to the pedals, the chain was slipping (not jumping to another gear but just slipping). This was particularly problematic when pedaling in up hill or when starting from still position.

Housing cable keeps moving and gets tighter on the derailleur after jumping
Once one becomes experienced in jumping and starts to reliably clear middle-sized jumps, simply doing them can become quite boring. A medium-sized jump gives a couple to 5 seconds of flight time, which feels like a lot to the rider. You simply hang in air doing nothing! Whipping is an easy, relatively safe and good-looking trick to learn at this point.
The part about replacing the cables & housings, derailer, chain, shifter and cassette should precede the part about frame failure, otherwise it can give an impression of jumping to conclusions before exhausting the usual culprits, for those who don't read comments.
