I would love to see it done without the mats ;-)

He must trust his ability to jump off that.

How do you gauge if you'll have enough forward momentum to make it to the mats without falling between the buildings? Not sure I'd trust my 'judgement' on that one!

Simple physics, ballistic trajectory is easy, wind is the greatest variable.

IMHO

P.S. Still looks insane !

That's all very well when you know the measurements dunx. But if you said, for example, that he must run and jump at 5mph to make it but 3mph will get him killed and 8mph will cause him to overshoot the mats......how do you ensure your run and jump is '5mph'?

....and wouldn't like to think about what would happen if he tripped over that huge curb on the roof either

I know some of the french free runners do some crazy heights.....but without those mats surely he would have injused himself...

Show me some proof....

I can just see so many things that could go wrong with that.

I would guess it would not be possible to see the landing area until the run-up was already underway, the ground looks to be damp too. Not for me, but fair play, would take some swingers to launch yourself of the top of a building. Its not the sort of thing that you can get wrong and have another crack at.

That looks damn scary to me! No way I could do it.

Also, sorry I don't believe that could be done without mats with no serious injuries being sustained. The impact looks bad enough with the mats.
