Sure you could, Gers# 1 fan! Both of my kids made the jump in 2003. I have pics of my daughter being the first in her group to jump..three others from the group followed her off the deep end
Most though, opted to do the slide across on the rope with a wheel contraption with a body harness. You can just see the rope down below stretching from bank to bank.
Great picture, Old Willham-
