It looks extremely real but it was a hoax. I read about it yesterday on Yahoo. Still looks real to me!! LOL

It actually wouldn't be too hard to do something like that, there would just be a little bit of math involved. Rate of acceleration down the slide, final speed at launch, height of launch, drag of the person through the air...
It's certainly doable, but unlikely.

Here is an article on this hoax from Microsoft.

No freaking way, not with that hooky setup. Although they may be lucky enough to nail all the variables for speed, weight, ramp angle, ect and land a known distance they had no controls on his left to right movement down the ramp.

If that was a water tube as you see in water parks then it might have been more believable, but that was noting more than good old PC editing.

So who wants to submit it to the nitro circus crew?

Good call! I thought I was missing a variable but I was too proud to admit it and go back and change my post ;)

Mythbusters would try it with Buster first, then maybe Tory second.

Possibly, but you'd also have to factor in the drag co-effecient of the sh!t in his pants.

[Sevenernine]

looks a lot like this one.

Aside from the fact he'd be dead on impact in a pool that shallow, anyway :-p
