You could always see if you can fit 29'er tires in your frame to get more shock absorbtion. Mentioning shock absorbtion, I'm not sure that shock fork could take such a drop anymore than the wheels.
I would have been only landing on the back wheel. it is sloping down hill. My concern was
running 80 PSI pressure in the 700c rims, ( the drop on a Mountain Bike is like child's play.)
Really.. I still think it would have been to easy ! but busting a spoke, and stabbing you
in a area startled me...never broke one before....I have a 4 day weekend to think about it.
