Booth escape route north

[SSlater]

How far did Booth Jump? There is no sense measuring from the rail to the stage floor - he didn't drop straight down. We need to know, how far out on the stage did he hit. Also, we should include the height above the rail, when he reached the apex of the curve he traveled. I would say, without assurity, that it appears to be about 3/4 of one-half of a sine wave. Thus, we need to calculate the amplitude and frequency of the curve. Should we use his head as the measuring point? Don't use his hips, because they may have rotated during his flight, and would not be a pure sine wave. Let's get this right.
