Snicker as long as it is not my son... When asked how they prepared for this and tested it, they responded, "We lost a lot of good men out there." (But really, this is awesome!)

Can you imagine being 6 feet short of the target?

There is a longer version of that clip
showing the final adjusting of the ramp,
as well as a “Test Dummy” in the foreground
None the less, this is WAY COOL
To: Free Vulcan
I wonder how they figured out the end landing point? Let a few dimorats try it first and go from there.

It was good, but it was faked. Megyn Kelly and Bill Hemmer had the guy on their show show and he explained how he did it. The man sliding down the waterslide has a rope hooked to him that was barely visible that stopped him near the bottom, and the rest was made by Microsoft movie maker. Cool anyways!!

A small family-fun park in east-central Pennsylvania formerly operated a fast-enough water slide, but shut it down, I believe, after enough young ladies who were bruised or injured “down there” sent in medical bills and/or sued. Kinda like a more-deadly version of the infamous water-skier’s enema, hayna?

Aint no way.
So the question is — how did they do it?
To: Drango
Actually, it was real. The math is simple enough. And the tests were just to give everyone courage.
And some of us do stupid stuff like that. I have crutches in the back of the truck, in case of need.
HOO YAH!

You won't ever be 25 again. I said that to myself this morning when the bladder call went up.
But you can play. Some rules. Don't ever hand anyone your beer and say "watch this".
Do the math. Remember the cosine function?
Be safe. No-one may love you, but everyone wants a piece of your ass after you die. So don't leave anyone anything.

Not real. He would have shredded that pool and died had it been real. That is assuming he actually hit the pool. This is a simple case of computer generated images. Just like those fantasy football commercial where the athletes perform impossible feats.
