I know I'm just too powerful for my own good, (heh)

but what's happening is I'm trying to maximize my power while coming up on the squats so that it mimicks a vertical jump, however, my top portion of the squat is much more powerful than the lower portion. Should I pull down with my hands so as to add weight on the top portion of the squat so that my awesomeness level of power doesn't cause the bar to jump off my back and then slam back down?
