6. Not so much....

The woman flying is extremely good. Her flying down the center line in uncoordinated flight is a dead giveaway. The base jump not so much. The pool is a pretty big object to hit. The winds off of buildings can bounce you around and make landings a lot more difficult as witnessed by the entirely unremarkable landings, however it was the tallest building in the area so the winds probably weren't as bad as one may expect.

As a little FYI, to get a "Pro" license by the USPA you must demonstrate that you have the ability to control your canopy. To do so you must land on a 10 cm disk for 10 jumps in a row. You miss, you start over. Most people who tried this were engaged in other jump activities so it wasn't strictly 10 accuracy jumps. You could be a part of formation flying, jumpmaster, or other things. In short, it was difficult.

I did a lot of demo jumps for different companies like Anheuser-Busch, Remax, etc. jumping into some pretty sketchy places and some were pretty difficult. We used to refer to it as jumping into a razor blade factory.
