Pause the video at 20 seconds...and look at the back of his legs...you see nothing but his cream colored pants. Freeze again at 25 seconds...and see the same thing.

Freeze at 37 seconds, and you see that he’s suddenly got a colorful ‘tail; drapped over his legs. Where did that come from?

Between 40 sec and 44 sec, his legs go way back, almost how a parachutist arches his back when in free-fall. Try to do this on a chair...while flapping your arms.

Around the 1:05 mark, the ‘tail’ is gone again.
Up to the 30 second mark, the man and his wings have a shadow.

At 31 sec, somebody’s shoulder blocks the camera’s view of the shadow.

At 32 sec, the shoulder is gone, and so is the shadow...and the picture is suddenly blurry.

Here's a link to a video of the wing mechanism without the wings and pilot.

Very interesting device.

Up in the air, Junior Birdman,
Flying so high off the ground,
Is it a bird, plane or Superman?
No! It’s Junior Birdman upside down.

Fake, according to some CGI experts at Industrial Light and Magic.

The fake-or-not battle is really raging on this one all over the internet. I’m leaning heavily towards hoax. Just doesn’t look right to me.

Question...
How is he horizontal in the air. There isn’t enough air flow over his body to create that position .
He would have to do it with his back muscles, very tiring.

Call me skeptical.

Otto Lilienthal, whose last words, after he crashed his last
attempt at flying an aircraft, were "Sacrifices must be made."
