Yes, that's normal and you need to be aware of that. You can always take her out of her cage in a hamster taxi like a mug or jug while putting your hand over it then go to a safe place low down with her.
Sit on the floor inside a play pen or a hamster proof room to handle and play with her.
Hamsters are fast and unpredictable. They also have a reckless streak and will jump without considering the consequences.
I caught one of my hamsters mid air once, just, when he jumped off my arm simply because he wanted to. He wasn't scared or startled or anything like that. I have even transpoted him in a handbag before which was the nearest available thing when he became very wriggly and excited before a free roaming session.
