looks kinda real but its a fake. it was on fox news the other day.

No Way! That can't be real! He landed in maybe 2-3 feet of water, I doubt that would cushion his landing enough to not break his legs/back.

Not much room for error if the wind blew him of course either. I thought he would land in a lake or something?

I want to see this in person!

It's on the internet, it's gotta be real!

dude, way fake. you'd have to be a MIT graduate to figure out the math on his weight X speed - distance + height devided by diameter of the pool X the square root of being a retart in order to land in that bird bath of a pool.

but, if someone can prove to me it can be done, i'm down. i'll follow you after i see you make it. cause if some can do something, ill try it atleast once. ok maybe twice if the 1st time is a disaster:devil:

most deff fake. that much height he would have to have atleast a good 8 ft of watter so he didnt hit his legs

so very true. just blew my theory right outta the water. or in this case, right outta the kiddy pool:devil:

Pretty good fake but a fake nonetheless. Ignore the flying body and watch the pool. The splash comes from straight down and the resulting rebound wave comes straight up. Just jump in a pool feet first on an angle and you'll have all sorts of water splashing out in front of the point of impact. Never mind the fact that he lands in an 8' rubber pool and there is no distortion in the sides after entry.

fake or not the simple fact that he went that high that far and that fast has got me wanting to try it into a lake or something.
