I have a hard time believing this video is real. It looks real. But it also looks impossible. I suspect a hoax.
Still, if this is a hoax, it’s a mind-blowing hoax.
If it’s real, how they ever found some idiot to try to this stunt is beyond me.
This video may not be real, but it’s really well done.

total hoax.
the acceleration down the slide is way too fast and the splash in the pool is way too small.
Dam cool though!!

Al,
The only way I see this, as possible, is many ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES!

Maybe you’re right. Maybe they filled the blue tub with beer and talked one of the local drunks into making the test flight in return for all the beer he could guzzle.

Ron, When I hit ‘Read more’ I got something to tell me my machine was shutting down and an entire page of directions…none of which I read…I immediately turned the PC off and restarted…seems okay.

you can calculate catapult trajectory with very law marging of mistake – physics and math …splash depends how you land. the sake phisocs apply (action v reaction).

simply put, the stunt was calculated using firstly, a drone of the same weight and height . it is seen plainly lying at the end of the slide on the ground if you look again. doh
