Yeah man that is pretty sick. My first thought was how effin bad would it hurt if the guy missed?

Fake. I just don't believe it. He would have broken his spine, even if he landed in the right spot.

You dont think its possible? We shoot people into orbit but dont think that was possible?

Nope. And the inflatable pool would have burst or at least tipped.

Just think about what would happen if you dove from about 20 feet into a 2 foot pool...ouch...

But, then again, he was wearing a helmet :)

Impossible on so many levels! FAKE.

But this is real, and looks like fun! oyYy1VMB ... ature=fvwp (oyYy1VMB_Cg&NR=1&feature=fvwp)

Physics is the exact reason why this is fake, the force of his landing in a pool that shallow would cause him slam down on the bottom of the pool breaking his back or legs. There's simply not enough water in that pool to slow his motion and coming in at an angle like that would have cause him to hit the side of the pool. Notice the pool doesn't move at all during the impact. Based on the time and estimated distance he was probably traveling at 25mph, a few feet is not enough room to stop in a pool that size. Its a great viral video but the physics just don't add up.

The site linked in the YouTube description, megawoosh.com, now contains info about MS Office Project 2007, in German. Verdict: it's a viral video created by Microsoft.
