I can't imagine how anyone could achieve this. That distance would devastate the body if not break limbs or cause paralysis entirely. With that said, it is a wonderfully put together video. I envy the editing skills of the creator ;)
Given this is known viral marketing, and even described on Snopes, also there are some clues from the audio that are a giveaway. (Use headphones.) The bucket-water sound at the beginning is distant and panned center. The sliding sound is a lot closer and panned left. The pool-splash sound is panned center. The cheering at the end is full stereo. None of that makes sense assuming the mic is on the camera, is directional, and just swivels, as the first sound and the visuals suggest. (Also there's audible clapping that isn't visible, even given any reasonable delay from sound travel-time.)
My earphones must be better quality than yours. Spend more than five bucks at the dollar store, bud. Also, blast some Archspire through them bitches, cause yous needs metals ins yours lifes.
ok people, we all saw the Mythbusters episode where they proved this video isnt real, but that is not the point. The makers of this video made such a fantastic and convincing video that millions of people watched it and even a major tv show took a look at it. I say it's damn good based on those credentials. props to the makers
If this was new, it wouldn’t take that much skill to create in something like blender or unreal engine. However for being made 14 years ago, this is seriously impressive.
"...and the camera never looses (er, loses) sight of him. " I thought the same thing too but you DO lose sight of him at the bottom of the slide - for what it's worth. I have a friend who's does professional CG work and he looked this for quite a while and he said he didn't think it wasn't doctored. If it was, it was a perfect job.
Whatever you non believer's i'm the guy in the blue coat with the white hat & i can tell you it was very real and we spent over 40 hrs in preporation for this stunt. and also we slid a dummy exact weight & height as Jimmy's body 7 times down the ramp & nailed 3 in a row before we let Jimmy go down the slide.Think what you want it is real & un-cut.
Something like this could work. It would take a lot of time figuring out the slope of the hill, the person's weight, the length and height of the ramp, and the distance between the end of the ramp and the kiddie pool, and probably a few other variables I haven't thought of. But it is possible.
Speed, weight, and elevation. All you need. Oh and a few years dealing with math in which subtraction does not exist. If you know, you know. If you don't, read a damn book.
Let’s attach some reasonable numbers to such a flight to calculate the velocity with which the man would have hit the water. Draw out a figure that indicates the launch and landing sites and includes a superimposed coordinate system with its origin conveniently located at the launch site. From the video we take the horizontal flight distance as D = 20.0 m, the flight time as t = 2.50 s, and the launch angle as theta(initial) = 40.0°. Find the magnitude of the velocity at landing. Answer = 19.5 m/s. I think that would hurt.
lolo313 approximately 19 m/s yes. You could just find the answer using Kinetic energy and gravitational energy equations, assuming the difference in height were to be 18 m
Even if he were to impact at three Gs of force, that's 540 lbs kinetic meeting around 1800 lbs of highly giving static resistance, on the initial impact. Then the flexible pool itself cushions the force imparted upon the water, further softening the blow. Where did you get your numbers? Have you shaken hands with reality lately?
We teach, not entertain. Fun is necessary in the classroom, when you're in grade school. Adult life is difficult. Either Benjamin Button yourself or grow up and don't waste your parent's money.
Amazing - he goes down the slide head first, disappears from view for a split second then reappears feet first coming off the slide and into the tank. Wow, how he do that ??
even if fake, mythbusters tried that in a lake and showed that you can actually jump from the ramp and land many times in almost the same place, which should be located around 20 meters away from the ramp. If in this video the pool was located half of the distance, that jump would be possible.
Mythbusters did it wrong. Jamie and Adam made a smaller, narrower slide with a short run and an even short ramp. they had to open their hands and legs to stay on their ramp. This jump is SPECTACULAR. Well done, dude!
This isn't fake. The guy is a physics major and he calculated all variables to this amazing jump and then put his own life on the line which is pretty incredible!
Unfortunately you can see the editing cuts where the person was replaced with CG at the top of the slide. Good attempt though, would (and presumeably did) fool alot of people, until the Mythbusters got ahold of it. :)
Whoever made this should really brush up on their physics. There is no way a 190 pound man could build up that much speed on such a small hill, or go flying so far. Also, next time add more "impact" to the pool. Water splashing was okay, but show some movement of the whole pool :)
Hahahaha for everyone saying it's real, it's not. I've seen how they did this in another video they made on one of their websites. The guy has a bungee cable strapped to him to pull him down the hill, when he's in the air he is edited in with standard animation, and at the end there's another guy already in the pool and just gets up. They did a freaking good job though.

i hate people who have to come out and just start screaming about how fake it is. dude's, stfu it was totally awesome and who cares if it is fake, i mean really? The best response there is, its a waste of time....browsing videos on youtube, what precious time, wouldnt want to waste that! Totally sick vid.
wow,fichissimo questo si che merita,ma soprattutto il tizio che ha fatto il progetto per atterrare precisamente nella piscina perchè i calcoli non credo proprio siano stati facili!
Steven ten Holder I believe they masked out the guy swapping in their CG at 0:07. You can see his body unrealistically shrinks attributing to the difficulty of matching in CG and footage. They may not have documented their camera specs, distance from camera to person or FOV. They did a great job though :D
There's something about this that screams 'fake' to me. Mainly it's the impossibility of the whole stunt, like the exaggerated distance (I don't think a human would fly even half that far), and the fact that the guy stays 100% on track, despite the lack of side barriers. But also it's that telltale way that the people in the video react: they're clearly acting. Like they've gone through the motions dozens of times in rehearsal.
Air has less friction than air. Hydrofoil boats go really fast on water because the hull of the boat is designed to send continuous air bubbles under the boat, reducing drag and increasing speed. Damn I wish covid would go the hell away so that I will no longer have the time or the energy to try to throw pearls before swine.
How the hell do so many people have bad eyesight? Or just making up craziness to prove a point? Why have do many people say that he started off head first? AT NO POINT IS HE HEAD FIRST DOWN THE SLIDE.
There is / was a training jump and pool at Whistler's Blackcomb somewhat like this setup and maybe a bit more extreme for ski jumpers to practice on in the summer. I believe they used water ski's instead of snow ski's. The pool was a bigger. This video is more fun to watch though as it makes it seem that it is something that folks less than elite athletes can do.
You can tell after he goes off the jump he speeds up dramatically
That is because the camera angle changes from head on to a side view.

Doin it for the vine
I don't think that it was real either.
What?
They tried it first with a bunch of homeless guys to get the range dialed in. Paid em twenty bucks each.
What if he missed?
Then this video wouldn't exist and he would probably be dead ☺️🔚

Debunking comments aside, the scenery of this place looks really nice

Now that is what you call cool
I love it when everyone comes rushing over to him and he just stands up and is like

Lol, I was watching Mythbusters and this is a fake xD
Can you send me link of video?
This is what physic teacher should've given us to watch instead of work and power question.
Our physics teacher gave us as homework the task of determining if this video is fake lol

Even my grandmother can do it, just throw a doll in a pool where you are underwater, that's easy, but I enjoyed it that much.
It’s so cool and amazing how it defies all laws of physics!!
How does it defie laws of physics and which ones?
fake but still hilariously amazing on how good you edited it! lol
He’s no longer famous
I think this was Microsofts advert thing they did... of course its not real its just there for fun and it looks awesome. Good Job
This is as real as 99% of influencers lol
this is how engineers have fun
i dont understand, i thought it was real explain please. what makes it fake
Amazing - he goes down the slide head first, disappears from view for a split second then reappears feet first coming off the slide and into the tank. Wow, how he do that ??
michael skrill ur actually fucking stupid
Look bud. Not being mean, but you need an appointment with the optometrist. Head first? I'm sorry man, but dyslexic be might you.
That is insane but cool at the same time.
step 1) build a ramp.
2) effects and editing.
3) get a guy to exit the pool
4) get idiots to run up and cheer and hug him :3

The only detail about this video that wouldn't work in real life is the distance;
everything else is perfectly consistent with physics.
He starts head first then hits the jump and magically turns around to go feet first? MIRACLE!!!

Yeah its impossible the people that made it admitted it
Quit saying "fake" everybody who gives a crap if it's fake was it entertaining? Yes. That's the purpose so shut up we get it

This was disproved on Mythbusters. They contacted the people and said it was CG. The distance was farther than it should have been.
If you look closely, you see that right after he took off from the ramp, he had a big boost to reach the pool. Nice try MegaDoosh!
