Amazing video! Did the guy practice, or did he get lucky, I wonder...

If he keeps that up he's heading for a Darwin award :roll:
And here's how he did it... note the dummy in the foreground.

The dummy's in blue - he's in black, and there doesn't seem to be any film disconuity in the slide/splash/zoom exit from the pool sequence. So preumably they used the crash dummy of the same weight and size for the positioning of the pool and hoped for the best. If so, the man is mad and lucky - I wonder what was in the flask he was drinking out of before the jump? it would need to be pretty strong stuff :mrgreen:
Aha! The truth comes out... I should have checked Snopes:
