Team A has a 3rd and 1 around team B's 35 yard line. Back from team dives over a pile of players gaining the 1st down.

Allowed or not allowed?

Legal play. Curious to know why you might think it isn't.

Just a bet with someone at a game. Think they are confused with hurdling rule

IIRC it only becomes an illegal play if the runner is assisted.   Thrown over the pile by a teammate or climbs on the back of a teammate to assist leaping over the pile.
