    did they glide from the rocks or is it just the camera angle?

    They glide. I think it's about a 10 degree down angle that they achieve. Pretty decent!

    I'd try it, but I don't think I have the upper body strength anymore.

    Gide ratio is 2.5:1. Or for every meter they fall, they move forward 2.5 meters. So a 22° slope.

    I'd try it out of a plane, but base jumping is nuts. Going way too fast, way too close to the ground for me!

    WDHIII was playing BTO - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet right before I watched this video.
