    Am I the only one who suspects that the stunt might have been rigged
    to LOOK like a total wipeout? Think about it - you NEVER see the
    landing area at all, even after the (probably very bad...) landing.

    Is it possible they had some sort of net/pond/pile of cardboard boxes
    there?

    Call me a cynic, but a video that makes it look like the guy did a 40
    foot face plant can be sold for lots of money to one of the "I can do
    a stupider thing than you on TV shows".

  7. Think the "Superman" pose is deliberate, or did he have a sudden flash of
    reality and think of bailing?
