I don't know enough about bike jumps but is it safe jumping with that bike? I think if I did that with mine I'll just end up with additional angles to my "triangle".
That's not an unusual outcome for old or cheap bikes if you over-send. Sam Pilgrim occasionally does this on YouTube if you want to see additional triangles.
As for this case, it may be a better made frame rather than a cheap one. This rider has some confidence in it at least. May be a tougher steel or better aluminium grade.
It all depends on the landing. If he's coming down onto a sloped ramp then it's fine. But if it's a hard landing to flat then both bike and rider are at risk of having a bad day.
You can see the ground
I mean you can see ground, but it's not necessarily the ground.
Perfectly safe. He wears a helmet. And his ike has reflectors front, back and on the wheels, so it all complies with safely standards.
