Megawoosh Video - Fake or Truth


We have not discussed something risky and dangerous for a long time, have we? We laughed at Stuart Smalley video and talked about sports and fitness, so I even started to miss shocking and dangerous videos. So, let’s get it started.

Have you ever thought about how risky you are? Well, I really have but now I have reasons to revise my conclusions. Several months ago the first megawoosh video appeared in the Internet followed by a flaw of delights, questions and suspicious comments. People argued that the video has a cut at the moment the man disappears, or that the pool should have moved off the platform after landing, or that there is something with a slide because its end cannot be seen in the video, and so on and so forth. There were even those who calculated man’s speed, angle of his flight and probability of his landing without injuries. My regards)

Every megawoosh video has the same scenario: a man speeds up gliding down a water slide, catapults himself into the air and lands into a small kid pool. Here we have an example of such a stunning jump.

Not bad, yeah? But as a megawoosh video started to gain popularity, appeared the first rumors that the video is a fake. So, what is it – a Fake or Reality? Actually, it is a fake but what a stunning one!

Megawoosh is nothing more than a viral campaign for Microsoft Corporation in Germany. The video is composed of several parts. In the first part a stuntman secured by a rope slides down a water slide. Then we see a man flying in the air, which is a result of animation in reality. Finally, the man jumps into the pool from a ramp making a big splash. After some careful composing and editing, the video became a sensation. Good job, Microsoft.
