Bizarre but funny.

Very hard to see how / where (and why) they might have tweaked it but then I know nothing about such black arts. The joy (relief?) at the landing seems genuine, as does the "flight". Bloody long way though and a small "drop zone". They must have done a dry run with a weighted dummy . . . ? (But which offered the same resistance to the slide and had the same aerodynamic properties . . . ?)

He vanishes from sight at 0:10 and 0:18 - should be quite easy to edit and cut in a dummy doing the actual flight/landing in to the proceedings. Still amusing though
If it wasn't done that way, the bloke's completely mad.

Excellent but definitely fake.
The chap is supposed to be doing ~ 50+ mph and travelling over 40+ metres and landing in 2 ft of water.
Have a good look at the splash when landing, at that velocity most of the water would have left the pool and
he would have broken his back as well as almost every other bone in his body.
You won't see the joins but it is nicely crafted.
NO BOMBING ALLOWED...

How quaint - using a match. Professionals have undertrousers with a pilot light.
