flawed calculation. maybe armchair quarterback, but based on the video, the
combination of the slope and the speed (or lack thereof) theres no way he's
gonna get clearance. he might have cleared if he didnt have that 90 off
opening, but with a pc deployment its just gonna take too long to open.
Watching it again it looks like his bike bounces into his risers. Still think
it was setup to fail from the start, and I'm guessing they assumed as much
when they are lowering a rescue crew down before the jumps even taken place.
Any of you that know anything about base jumping, was there something he could
have done to make this work? was it just a flawed calculation to begin with?
