They had leaped over the pot hole, I am happy to report.

Good try, krisla.

But the question asks for a dependent clause in the past perfect tense, so you would need to say something like:

"Because they had leapt over the pot hole..."

Then you need to complete it with an independent clause in the simple past:

"...they weren't injured."
