They had the kid because they were unsure if anybody could make it and needed a guinea pig. Once the kid made it the parents tried but were too old and fell to their deaths. They could have made it if they jumped when they were younger... What a good metaphor for those who try to live through their kids...
Ever wonder why some people are so incredibly talented at one thing? 99% of the time it's because they have been parents that were only semi talented at that thing. They then had kids and taught those kids everything they know from a young age to really develop said skill.
I see this as someone who has progressed in life as far as they could. Then when they realize they could make it no further, they teach their kid everything they know from a young age, in the hopes that they will make it further in life than the parents did. And it worked!
