Because the gas wouldn't be solid?

I'm envisioning this sort of like a boat in rough seas.
It needs to be a certain size to avoid being swamped by the big waves.
Adding "wings" is like closing the tarp over an inflatable lifeboat so
the wave doesn't fill the boat with water.
(see http://www.keishamarine.com/ecatalog/uploads/5f215b06a2_Inflatable-%28A%29-Pack-Liferaft.gif
for the idea I'm trying to get across)

Just pumping out a gas bubble wouldn't keep the "water" out.

That's my interpretation, based on stuff in the T5 Jump rules,
especially the part about "Jump Rumbles" shaking the ship before you
drop out.
