Nah, defiantly faked... the acceleration was all wrong, as was the ballistic trajectory. It also didn't look right at all.

It's fake. Pause at the end of the slide and just before he leaves the ramp, he is at the edge. Next frame, just off the slide, he is centered with the ramp... Cool but fake.

Definitely faked.

Just before 'he' hits the water, you can see that 'he' is resized too much making 'him' look more like the size of an small children.

And well, the reactions of the bystanders are a dead giveaway. They act like it was an miracle that it was an success, now, I know there's some VERY stupid ppl living on this planet, but doing something like that without being 99% sure it works is the same as just hopping infront of an train and get over with it. Hitting the ground with that speed would break tons of his bones if not kill him.

Nor was there any excrement oozing out of his trousers when he exited the water
