Hmmmm....still I'm not so sure.

Breaking distance; If you pay attention you will notice that car landed just before the BMW, and as we all know breaks dont work during the ''flight''
So the stopping distance is only few meters, plus when you taking off you are in a pretty big shock and all over the cabin so break pedal may not be the first thing you press, in his case first thing during the flight he pressed was a speed dial on his phone to call mum

Take off; The only reason why he took of was the position of Mazda's left wheel. as he was turning right his left wheel was fully exposed and if you hit it right as he did this works like ideal launch pad. Perfect launch pad + 30 ish mph = a good few meters flight.

Plus as mentioned before I think sound plays here a big role in judging the take off speed as Aventador is a really really loud car
