I was stuck at this point for a long time too! 
I suggest you keep trying -- practice, practice, practice.

What I usually do is creep forward until Rick's hands
are over the edge of the platform.  Then when the time
is right (I believe that's just when the firing noise 
starts) I jump up and to the right.  When I land, I
immediately jump up and to the right again (in fact, I 
just keep my joystick pointing up and to the right until
after the second jump).  If timed perfectly, Rick will 
jump over the spears being fired from the snake head.

Keep trying, but know that there are worse times ahead.

I have found Rick Dangerous II to be a little easier
(I made it through the first three levels in a couple
of weeks).

Good Luck!
