I’ve seen this one before, and it has been labeled fraud by a couple of aerospace engineers. Based on the size of the man and the velocity he must be traveling to reach the pool, if he really landed in the pool the shock wave would have sent the majority of the water out of the pool and collapsed the pool wall, and he would have washed out with the water. Nice try at fooling us, but no cigar.
Joe: When I got this from my cousin I was wary of its validity so I stuck it on FAOL knowing that somebody would probably tell me if the stunt was real or fake. I went back to my cousin with the fake report, he laughed & said his older brother swallowed the hook.

If you are crazy enough to try something like that you are probably not smart or educated enough to do the physic to hit a bullseye the size of a small pool. In real life the guy would like have become a yard dart well short of the pool.
I would like to see Mythbuster take it on to get realistic results.
Physics aside, if you jump from ten feet into three feet of water, you’re going to hit bottom hard and get hurt. Even if these guys were able to do the necessary calculations to hit the pool, the man that came out would be a broken heap of bones.
The real question shouldn’t be whether or not its real, but rather…how did they fake it? ![]()
