FAKE! I think landing from that height and at that speed he would’ve been hurt, that small pool wouldn’t be enough for a foampit-like landing. When he stands up, the water only goes up to his thighs. If anything, if he SOMEHOW managed to make it perfectly in the center of the pool from that distance, his legs would kick the the end of the pool and it’d flip over.
totally fake! he accelerates after leaving the jump, and the fact that its a commercial gives it a reason to have such high production value (a reason to have built the slide etc.)
looks super cool tho!
oh and all the sounds (buckets of water, suit zipping down the slide, splash) were added in post production. made to look candid, but planned and scripted.
ha ha ok that enough outta me.
There is no elitist to content on the internet unless you run 4chan, then you get respect since it is due. But other than that if it has been debunked yesterday and hasn’t been posted on the blog before (prolly’s twitter is not our blog) it is content and comments are one of the most important things about a blog. What do we have here?

I think its fake. The end of the fall looks sped up… plus the white sky would make for the easiest after effects of my life.
Although building that whole slide just to make a fake video seems a little extravagant.
