I think the calculation is too simplistic. Translating ground speed into an inclined leap is not quite right.
I've ridden jumper horses for many years, and the world jumping height record is around 7'6". Some horses can also leap a span of almost 20', but only get maybe 3-4' off the ground at while doing so. Also, the highest jumps are approached at a slow speed (a horse can jump 5' or more from a standstill).
Of course, this is a tiger, not a horse, and one that isn't saddled with the weight of a human on it's back. But I just can't see such an enormous leap, even from such an athletic animal.
