jumped in

Entered without hesitation

Jumped in means to enter something suddenly or without hesitation.

You can jump in a pool, jump in a conversation, or jump in to help someone.

Feel free to jump in if you have questions.

In gang culture, to be jumped in is to be initiated through a group beating—proving you can take punishment before you're accepted as a member.
