Greatest waterslide jump ever!

Pretty effective fake if it is:

It's very real.

It's not a Microsoft viral ad if thats what you were wondering.

Re-post!

LMAO! that is a pretty effective use of physics. Thats incredible if it is real b/c he could have SERIOUSLY messed him self up.

^^ No way is it real.

My brother is an engineer and we were discussing this vid. All sorts of things would have happened in a jump that size (water displacement and velocity would be enough to either smash the pool, kill the guy on impact or both). Let alone the error rate, off by a centimetre at the jump and you miss the pool completely.

My brother works at NASA and says its real.



discuss.

Janitors don't have a great grasp on physics though

If you think about it though, a fall from about 30m into water is like hitting concrete. Let alone hitting it at least 60km/hr. Lets say you survive that hit to the water, the water has to be displaced by the force and size of the body entering (think meteor craters of miles across for a fast moving meteor of a metre wide). So you would expect that there would be enough force there that the little blow up pool, which normally collapses from leaning to far to get your beer, let alone when someone does a belly flop, would have to at least topple.

^^ look closely and u see that the pool has some kind of support around it, but i agree, the guy cannot just land in the water after that huge jump and be ok! that's crazy?!

QFT.

There was obviously a guy in the pool, dressed exactly as the first guy, who was waiting to stand up as soon as the first guy hits the water and subsequently dies.

Concussive force displacement would have killed him too.

I'm sorry Rob.

Special hugs?

Tech and his amazing internet abilities strike again!

Or maybe just anyone with access to snopes.com: http://www.snopes.com/photos/advertisements/megawoosh.asp

Also, it's clear that it's fake.
