Brad Clayton Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 There is a big debate on whether this is real or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregH Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Given the fact that the maximum altitude achieved during the ballistic portion of the video appears to be equal to or greater than the starting point, and the fact that the person/pilot/projectile is decelerated from a fairly high velocity down to zero within the diameter of the wading pool with no apparent damage to the pool, I will have to vote for fake. A well done fake, but fake nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 That CAN'T be real! But it is funny!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 I came home last night and my son had the boob tube on Myth Busters and they were debunking this video. They built a replica slide that dumped into a pond and looked like they had a blast. The funny thing is the accuracy of hitting the pool was dead on, but they couldn't get enough speed to jump the gap in the video. The vid was at 115 feet and they could only get about 75 feet. They contacted the video maker and they said it was CGed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Keith, was that the same episode where they ran the car into the wall at 100 MPH? It was on last night and I can't remember that far back. Man that was one mangled up car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 My favorite is where they ran a rocket powered sled on rails into a car at 700mph. Man, that is some serious energy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
