Personally, I would have used a sturdier material.

There’s no insanity quite like the kind held by people in extreme sports. While you or I might look at the massive fall and think “fuck that,” the extreme sporters among us will merely smile and say, “I can’t wait to jump off that, knee tendons be damned!”

This insanity also extends into how they construct their stunts. For example, this guy set it up so that he would land his BMX bike on some pieces of plywood in a river. The problem? It’s goddamn plywood that’s been soaking in water, and so, the expected happened.
