Good thing the guy who placed the pool didn't sleep through physics.
I want to build one of those so bad. We can put Joel on it into a cactus patch. [evil] ;D

I'm with you on that, no make the beast with two backsing way but very creative.
Looks real to me...you guys see something on the video that looks fishy? ??? I'm kinda skeptical as well, but I can't see anything.

At that speed, he would skip out of a pool like a rock... Plus, he couldn't have gone that far on that slide with 2 buckets of water. LOL

Doubtful...his entry angle is too steep. It also looks like the slide is already wet, probably from rain.
I'm skeptical because the water pool looks to be sitting on a wood platform. I'd expect the pool to move a little (if not break like kopjager said) when he lands. I'd also expect the guy to get injured...I don't think that small amount of water would do shit for cushioning, especially given the wood platform.
