Real or Fake

Postby kitesurfer » Mon Sep 28, 2009 12:45 pm

Does he do it or is it just a clever fake.

It seems so impossible but yet looks so real i can't decide.

I believe!

(However it could easily be faked with graphics not very difficult really)

Don't know how it was done other than some good editing. I mean look at Jurassic Park... do you know how much it cost to feed those dinosaurs!! But not being a physicist or anything wouldn't the following be an issue:
1) the speed at which he hit the pool wouldn't he smash out the sides of the pool? Also wouldn't the splash be more directed to one side of the pool instead of looking like he was just dropped down into it.
2)If I was about to attempt that stunt I think I would be drinking a line of shots followed by a line of 5 hour energy drink shots... and then do it after someone said the magic words of "I dare you" or the wife tells me "you can't do that...."

There is another video similar to that was on Yahoo a few weeks ago. Some guy shot the worlds longest basketball shot... looks completely faked and is I think not being considered for a Guinness record..

I think its fake. It has to be. Going from about 70 mph to stationary in the thickness of a paddling pool, surely at least his legs would be broken?
