pauln Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Three reasons to believe it is fake. Way to deadly: The tub of water is setting on what appears to be a plywood support, with sharp corners, edges, etc. No way anyone is going to be hurling toward that without safety precautions. Way too fast: The elevation of the beginning of the slide is about the same as the ending. This would result in the slider reaching the end of the ramp and stopping there. The speed coming off the slide is way too fast. The sound is wrong: Notice that the camera is very far from the pouring of the water (after the zoom out), yet the splash of the water on the slide is heard without delay, likewise the end of the sliding sound of him leaving the ramp, the splash at the end. They are all synced perfectly with the video, which gives it away a FAKED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Would he be able to take off like that if the ramp was on a treadmill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Plus the fact that he is wearing a neoprene wet suit....two buckets of water...I don't think so!!! they had better rub that slide down with axle grease or friction would have stuck him about ten yards down the ramp.....ever go to a water park and the water stops on the giant slide for just a min....ouch!!!
