Jump! Posted August 12, 2009 Rick O'Shea Today is the day of the gullible… This can’t be real either, right? via @lydiadesdolles Tweet Related
I saw this the other day adn thought fake, turns out it is. Apparently during the initial going down the water slide, the guy is held with a rope which stops him going down the last bit (which is out of view). Its explained better here http://newteevee.com/2009/08/11/the-megawoosh-waterslide-viral-how-it-was-really-done/ Still a good video though 🙂
My huge enjoyment of this stunt was rudely interrupted by my suspicion that it was a carefully edited hoax, probably put together by a clever corporate marketing department. I wanted to believe.
