Aug 6 2009Pfft, I Could Do That: Monster Waterslide Jump

FFFIIRRRSSTTT!

FIRST!!!!!!!!
IN YOUR FACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashamed i am... and 2nd.....

^LOSER!

Fifth!!! :)

WOW

that is so many different kinds of awesome.

Oh god, I thought he was going to end up in a lake or something, you know, larger than a kiddie pool! If it's real, then kudos are in order.

I couldn't help but think at the end if he slightly missed and hit the wooden structure holding up the pool lol. That is if it's real.

the vid above it is 20x more funnier

I'm actually going to have to go home and watch this video, damn firewalls... almost time to clock out... been reading geekologie since 8.00am .... LOL

I agree with Daisy, even if she doesn't comment in this post. The splash doesn't look right for the speed he was going.

Gotta admit I started out a Daisy hater but now, it's like waiting for the other shoe to drop. It don't feel right if it don't happen.

Seriously, it has to be fake right? There are too many variables to be that accurate. And if you miss, SPLAT!

FAKE!!!!! and bla bla bla shadows bla bla back down bla bla jon travolta taking a shit bla bla

I so want to believe it's real. So it is, it is real.

@Tennist0- OMG I laughed so hard at that one that I'm pretty convinced I do have a faulty gene (just like everyone's been saying).

16th FTW

This video is totally real. I was there. I was standing behind the guy with the camera making funny faces at Jim (the sliding guy) trying to make him miss.
He his too good though. It's hard to break Jim's concentration.

Be more impressive if the kiddie pool was full of alligators

@19
We all tried to talk Jim out of it. Kinda of a math nut who calculated this whole thing out... But he pulled it off, and on his first try.

I watched the previous day's video. Although when I clicked on it, it appeared as if nothing was happening. By the time I realized it was opening in a new tab, I had opened 23 copies of it.

So far I have watched it seven times, they all appear to be the same. 16 to go.

@21. If you listen closely, at about 20 seconds in, you can hear naas yell, "Go Jim!" and about 27 seconds you can hear STOMPY scream when Gordon kicks him in his gigantic nutsack, and then we all laugh.

I'm not buying that its real. If you go to the site presented at the end, it has too many Microsoft Office advertisements... I think its a viral thing.

I think I just got called a liar.

Indeed. If you go to the site, you'll see its called "Bruno Kammerl's Punktlandung". Not "Jim's Eaterslide Jump". I'm assuming the guy doing the jump is called Bruno. Bruno Kammerl. Not Jim.

Bruno is the guy that built it and dared Jim to slide down it.

That Jim, seriously. He'll try anything once.

But I shouldn't have to prove this to you. It's obviously real. It's right there on the internet.

holy sh!t

GW what the hell is up with all the crappy weight loss ads with down syndrome spelling on your page?

i just watched the prestige on dvd, so my first reaction is to say that there was already someone in the "kiddie pool" ready to stand up once the jumper disappears. the whole jump's gotta be doctored, but it made for a fun video. i'd still rather watch the video of that reporter who gets demolished by some guys coming down a hill in an innertube.

"THAT was a BAD idea."

@ everyone, i would make sweet sweet sex to each and everyone of you, but my baby penis gets tired early so start calling dibs on your position now.

things i involve in my sex acts: vermont cheddar cheese (extra sharp), all the original 150 pokemon (including psyduck), canola oil, a printed (TNR font) copy of the declaration of independence, and plenty of fresh fruits and veggies. additional things may be included upon request and my approval

FAKE! Total photoshop job. You can tell because the pixels are all shadowy.

It reminds me of that scene in Never Back Down when Daisy and Baja were making out in front of the camera and Daisy ripped off Baja's skirt and a dinosaur jumped out from underneath and started chasing a half naked Daisy around the room and then they started making out but Baja got jealous and hopped on the dino and "rode" it for like, seriously 4 hours. Talk about GRRAWRRR. Hear me, GW?

Daisy is spot on.

He gets way to much air for the speed he is going down the slide. and what? these cock-smokes are MIT physics professors and the calculate the exact spot he will land? FAKE FAKE FAKE.

damn! i was coming here to show you this precise video!
it's so much better than the other home-made one you showed.

Man, that was just as awesome as when GFS kicked STOMPY in the nuts. I gave him a high five after.

If you think that is legit, your gonna love National Health Care....

Hint: they are both fake

you guys are fake

RedDangerAnus: Ahhh. There we go. I knew you would change back if we poked you enough. It's like those guys that threw rocks at that tiger, and you know how that ended. The tiger jumped over the internet and attacked the dudes. Is that what you are gonna do RDA? hunt us down?
do you run?
are you in shape? Do you wish you were?

Do you own camo but aren't in the military?

Have you ever purchased a copy of Soldier of Fortune or SWAT weapon-type magazines? Any Richard Marcinco in the RDA library or is it all ninja stuff?

R U gonna hunt us down and kill us?

or just me?

im gunna bone you with my huge meaty wiener, then never call you again! or i may just drink beers and smoke weed cuz you guys aren't providing me with any entertainment anymore... read: if you ignore me i get bored and stop fux'in witchu

WORDS!!!!

And that silly Jim. I went to school with him and he was always eating bugs and shooting milk out of his eye. He asked me out on a date once, but I was afraid that he'd bite my nipple off just for shits and giggles.
That silly, silly Jim. He hasn't changed a bit.

oh hey smoking girl!, if your here i might stay and have more sexy convos! love you baby we should be together

@40 & 41. You two are way to kinky for me. I am sexually conservative. I basically stick to missionary position and doggy style.

I don't even like to say doggie style because it sounds dirty.

I have to go wash my mouth out with soap now.

Fake - the water that sloshes over the edge of the pool drops too quickly over the side.

The guy dips out of view at the bottom of the curve and the rest is CG. Very well done, but fake.

I wonder how many times they had to practice before they got it right...

I only have sexy convos with the REAL Robot. Not this fake Robot shenanigans.

Jesus, what kind of woman do you think I am? Do you think I'll just jump into a sexy party with any ol' Robot I see? No thank you, I am a lady. A lady who would rather be with someone like Pew, even if he does have a fear of the plural of stair. Come, Pew, let us jump the frilly brush together. Weeeee.

I love geekologie
and the STOMPY
and GFS
and naas (speaking of which where did he go?)
and Pew however you do the nice 3 thingy the imply PEW PEW PEW, thats classic
AND GW

and I guess Daisy has to be in there.

Even tho I don't comment everything I read them all.

You are too funny

I want to go to there.

Get Wet with Eliza Dushku http://tiny.cc/5XZCn

It's too bad that some of you doubt the reality of my daredevil stunt. But you can believe because Pew and several others of you were there and can attest to my veracity. We made several test runs first of course, with a carefully weighted dummy, and we had a Doctor of Physics there to make extra sure it was safe. Then all of us pee'd in the pool for good luck and started the cameras.

This was a dangerous event even so, performed for the greater glory of humanity and the homeland, and not just for shits and giggles. Don't try this at home young boys and girls without first getting the proper authority.

@45. I think you just like to make me blush.

@46 Thank you. Character map is fun. Or you can use shortcuts. for example, holding the while typing 0179 produces ³ weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

@49 hey the alt key text dissapeared. It's supposed to say "holding the alt key"

³

AMAZING

just so you know, ³ is ©®™

Gone to a lot of trouble just for a simple enema...

THIS IS FAKE! The real one is here -

http://themostawesomepageintheuniverse.com/2009/07/slippy-slip-n-slide-summer-post/

GEE EYEEE JOEEEEE

@ GFS, Ollie, PEWPEWPEW and Jim

Yeah, it was funny at first but you guys weren't the ones that had to drive STOMPY to the ER. (GFS was wearing steel-toes), bastard still owes me gas money.

nice jump and u guys peed in the pool for good luck y?

this is perfectly possible if they did the math right and if there wasnt wind to blow him off course.

Hey, check me out, I was born yesterday!

That's totally fake, I didn't pay much attention in physics but from what I did grasp it makes me think that this is fake
GW- I bet you could, and I bet you could do more than just that! ;) i <3 you even more now!

Actually I take it back, I don't think its love...

two pails of water is all it took

for me to slip on that double headered dildonian......

FWAP FWAP weeeeeeeee ! ;)

Ouch.

If you want to see a hilarious short video with a BIGGER TWIST than "Sixth Sense", then you should check out "Hide the Salami" -- Marriage. Lunch Meat. You'll never guess where it goes.

http://www.digitalfuntown.com/videos/172

p.s. probably NSFW

Got to be said. Mankinds greatest f*cking achievement to date.

It would really suck if the guy missed or the person recording it forgot to press the "record" button and they had to do it over again. Or if they dude got struck by lighting, eihter one.

This could definately be real, you would just have to calculate the vi, the starting height, the constant downward acceleration, time, vf, and range,
Its not as complicated as it seems, as the air resistance would only bring in a small difference

it's physix

fake, yeah. So this dude flies a couple hundred feet through the air and is stopped effectively by about 2 feet of water in a kiddie pool. Nobody thinks somebody weighing probably about 175 pounds would've just tore right through the side of that pool and broken their face on the mountainside?

well there is that professor splash guy that dove 35 feet into a 12" kiddie pool.. and he prolly weighed at least 200.. just sayin..

I want Mythbusters to attempt to debunk this.

Clearly a Microsoft ad site -- run the site through Babelfish, and it's pretty clear:

"Bruno Kammerl's Point-landing
Make it feasible - with Microsoft Office Project 2007
The man without fear of large ideas - is there really it?
Even if Bruno Kammerl remains an invention.
The time is ripe for new heroes."

I loved the video... thought it was real at first. Then.. you know.

But i have to say my fave part is all your comments about the video.

Alligators... priceless!

DragonKat!!!!!!!!!!!! where are youuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and your precious milk missiles)

It's not a matter of the math or the physics, it's a matter of human variables. One minor miscalculation in the frictional effects of the water slide, the topology of the mountain, or even just a rock underneath the plastic; if the person starts rotating incorrectly or a breeze picks up even a little bit it's enough to throw it off and turn the stuntsman into a quadraplegic. Fake.

this is so fake....

not even that hard to fake. which it is

i totally believe it's real. completely bought it. ...for real. ...why's everybody laughing? what!!

where is daisy when we need her?

Happy hangover Friday everyone!

@66

if you're able to look at all those variables, maybe you should take a look at drag as well..

at that speed, drag is a significant factor, and from the video it doesn't look like the guy is paying much attention to his cross-sectional profile.

I'm going to be a cynic. i'm calling this fake too. haha.

At that speed and angle wouldn't he just skip off the water?

Yeah may as well join the throng... It's quite fake.

I wince as I watch the sh*tbeating the laws of physics are taking.

Dr. N

Fake. I call shenanigans
There was no pool, it was added after.
Due to the lack of friction he would be like a marble on a sheet of glass, even a small lump of grass/imbalance would have seen him sliding all over the shop...so there!

Who cares if its fake, its good entertainment. Just like Brooke Hogan... errr wait a sec.

hey farva, what's the name of that place you like to eat with the cheese sticks and all that goofy shit on the walls?

Gizmodo's saying it's a fake. still cool tho.

http://gizmodo.com/5332256/meh-epic-water-slide-video-is-fake-and-promoting-microsoft-office

As cool as that it to watch, IT IS ABSOLUTELY FAKE.

The trajectory of that person hitting the pool would've produced a much larger splash & torn the pool in 1/2. Everything is convincing right up until he hits the water, FAKE but well done

@79 hangover!? I just started drinking my friend

it = is

(see? alcohol)

@naas

I can't drink at work. It sucks. I could really go for a bloody mary right about now.

@Shumway - how about I come to see you, you know - as a customer to buy some porn or whatever.... then ask you to show me the 'viewers choice' section... then slip this rather large flask of coffee flavored tequila into your hands..... I'll hit the fire alarm & then everyone will make their way of of the cellar... meanwhile, you kill the flask & likely pass out. Then I'll explain to your manager that you tried slapping me for attempted inappropriate contact but slipped & hit your head & fell down..... when he finds you passed out on the floor

OUT of the cellar.... I can never do it flawlessly under the influence, why is that

Dear GW,
You are using stumbleupon to find you material. I saw this before you, and before it will appear on Colbert. I found the beginning of the internet. Can't you do better? Find me the internet fetus!

That shit's as real as people landing on the moon!

Watch the water when he lands. It clearly spills over the pool and onto the wood. But when the video zooms in, the wood is dry. Watch when he gets out, a little water spills onto the wood and clearly wets it.

that was just... *tearful* awesome!
Probably fake. I'm not gonna deny it might not be.

Wow. Tell me no one is actually considering that this is real. You may as well go see that GIJoe documentary tonight.

He probably broke his coxis and won't be able to sit down for a year.

Looks like a marketing stunt to me. If you follow the link at the end you get a Microsoft Office advertising page.

99th

100 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100
and
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can't believe you got me to watch this fake shit.
entertaining though. you can see pixels.

Its fake. The most obvious reason being the man's velocity. Had he been traveling fast enough to cover that amount of distance when he hit the pool he would have split the side of the landing pool and slid across the ground..

effin awsome, yes.

Must See!!

http://75684.onodot.com/

They just said this was fake. I love being right.

Yo that was freakin hot. I wanna ride that ish was awsome. WHo does it feel to tak eflight like a bird. You must have felt like the ultimate spit ball, freaking awsome dude....

Click if you want to know if its real or not.. I won't spoil it either way :P
