Darwin theory at work --- if someone saw that commercial and tried to duplicate, it's only a matter of time before they would have killed/injured themselves in some other spectacularly stupid & entertaining fashion.
There's only so much one can/should do to protect the stupid from themselves :)
Every once in a while the gene pool needs a little chlorine.
As far as kids go, if the child doesn't have enough concept of reality to know the difference, he/she should not be unsupervised.
Personally, I thought the commercial was great, it's nice to see humorous commercials - the boring ones are just, well.... Boring.

Some of my favorite commercials are the Budget rental car commercials where the marketing folks are in the Board room brainstorming ways to market their rental cars by offering additional services...
Like the personal trainer (who, when they imagine the scene, proceeds to crack a walnut with his gluteus maximus and offers it to the horrified client)
Or the jetpack & when they imagine it, the client rockets into the powerlines..
How about the one where they want to increase web traffic to their website & one of the people has the bright idea to get everyone in the country a computer -- they flash to the fantasy scene with an Amish guy in a barn with a cow, unpacking a monitor.... With no electrical outlet in sight, he selects the closest logical receptical - you guessed it....
Funny stuff... I wish I could find some video of them on the web...

One possible flaw I noticed is the front wheels of the van didn't rotate when it moved forward.
The rider's helmet comes within millimeters of hitting the top of the van.
Also, if you watch it frame by frame, you should see the rear wheel of the bike fold up as it hits the edge of the back of the van & instead it just disappears.
Very well done, reflections on the glass and all.

Yes they do, but they don't rotate for the full foward travel.
Something like that isn't too entirely difficult to make. You film the guy jumping, and then park the van on the hill. You drive the fan foward 2ft, to simulate the impact. You can then crop the van out of the second video, and put it on the first, complete with reflections in the glass and everything. And as long as you didn't move the camera, everything should line right up into the first video. A little editing to make the rear end bounce, and viola!!!

Actually, if you view it frame by frame, the front wheel moves a couple degrees at first, but then the whole van moves a reasonable distance and the fronts don't move at all - and there is no dust stirred by the front wheels.
If the van were sitting there in park, the rears may not move, but the fronts would roll freely --- although it does appear there is a hand on the steering wheel on the van making it feasible that someone is holding the brakes, it's unlikely because the brake lights are visible and do not appear to be illuminated, nor are any brake light reflections on the white door of the van.
Another interesting aspect is the dust sources from the van and not the ground. The dust also seems to go in front of the jump, giving the feeling it's superimposed on the picture...
Doing the old camera/edit trick is a fine explanation, but they did a great job of bottomming the suspension, moving the van forward without moving the wheels, and making the reflections properly follow the van's forward motion as well as the suspension travel - all this, while the camera is moving the whole time....
A simple hack job at editing would have been clearly evident - whoever made this took some time and effort...

One thing I noticed from the first time I watched it was the position of the van relating to its suspension. Look at the van's body in relation to the rear wheels before the bike enters it. When the bike supposedly slams inside the van the suspension extends in the rear and the van rolls forward. The body then begins to settle back down but it comes to a rest several inches higher than before the bike was in there.

Well I hope no one though that was real :p .

I agree that it whoever did it took their time with it. The dust looks fake.
However, IF the van has been superimposed, I don't think it would be all that difficult. As long as the camera distance is the same for both shots, you can insert the van frame-by frame and everything will line up the same, so you still get the movement of the camera.
