  No way! I wonder how many bumps and bruises they got to get the landing right!

  If you look closely at the video you can see at 0:12 into the video his arms are extended straight out from his sides, at 0:13 you can see him bring his arms straight down toward his feet in the direction that he is flying. If it is a fake it is a damned good one! Give me a nice pond or lake to land in and I would jump at the chance. That little kiddie pool.... not so much. =)

  If it's real, I predict a fatality unless a much larger receiving pool is in place. Why? Consider the different trajectories of 120/320 pounds

  Just learned this video is a viral ad made by Microsoft (good work guys) to promote Office 2007. If you follow the link at the end of the video you'll see a bunch of Microsoft promotional stuff.

  I've been told via Facebook it was to put together as follows: First part guy is going down the slide - a stuntman - held by a rope. Second part where the guy is flying in the air is actually just computer-generated and third part is another stuntman jumping off a piece of wood into the pool.

  Very well done.
