I think it could have been pulled off.  If they used sand bags about the same weight as the dumm shi&* that did the real stunt.  Mite have taken several try's.  but if the guy weight in at 125 lb's then put 125 lb's of sand in a wet suit and run it down the track.  See where it lands.  Do that enough times should be good to go. ::) ::)

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

there is a dummy laying by the end of the ramp on the ground.  Either that, or it's the guy that didn't make it.

Look at how the "guy" follows the contour of the landscape without ever leaving the ground. hell ,at the first drop he'd have gone airborne or at least have gone near negative g's . Doesn't look like he does tho.

Then why are you arguing my point or do you just hang out on the beginner slopes?

Well, I have seen firsthand what happens to those soft sided pools when they are jumped in from a lot less impact than that, and I say NO way it would hold up...They tend to come apart if very much impact is put on them...

I don't know about this one. You can see the dumby at the bottom of the ramp. I have another one for you guys. I doubt this is real also.

Water will stop a bullet you know...
There is definately something about that pool that I just can't place.  Big splash, water slopping over the side as the guy stands up, but pool doesn't move.  The actual video is flawless as far as I can tell though.  On par with a handheld video camera.

Fabr, I figured I'd humor ya and watch the video about 30 times.  I'm just not seeing what you're claiming.  I got bored and found another vid that I thought was funny.  I couldn't bare to watch more than half though.  enjoy.
