Sorry, I should have been more specific.

The point of interest begins at about 1:20 in the original link.


"How difficult?"


That is the question. It's not like flying next to a mountain
where you have an easy out.

The song does seem correct.


Did you diss Jeb Corliss before you noticed he was in an
accident?

"I blame it on my own sick pride
Sail!
Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my A.D.D. baby
Maybe I'm a different breed
Maybe I'm not listening
So blame it on my A.D.D. baby"

You may wish to note the more recent youtubes
of him in South Africa.
Wiki says, "On 16 January 2012 Jeb suffered multiple leg fractures
in an accident while BASE jumping off Table Mountain, Cape Town,
South Africa. He appeared to strike with his feet, probably pulling up
to make the edge, spinning 30 meters out before deploying his chute.
He was airlifted out by the Red Cross Air Mercy Service Augusta 119."
