    Awesome water slide video

    Saw it on rude tube the other day. Must have taken a fair amount of planning.

    Re: Awesome water slide video

    Something to do with Microsoft according to the comments..

    There's a dummy there presumably used for range-finding, but I guess it was a stuntman actually doing the slide, rather than joe-bloggs..

    Correct. The fact he could have died does not prove it's fake. Physics proves it's fake.

    Now, who wants to set this up and be the guy on the slide?.....as long as you don't die, every bone you break should be worth millions in compensation from Microsoft.

    Re: Awesome water slide video

    Now what we need here is an exact same slide going in the opposite direction. It has to be yellow, wet and have exactly the same hill incline. Then, we need two blokes to start off at exactly the same time along the same fake trajectory, at the same faked velocity. That's the easy part. Before that we have to find the two blokes. One must be called Higgs and the other must be called Boson.

    When they collide, duck.

    Oh, and best we have a fire appliance on standby in case one of the guys catches on fire at the start .

    Re: Awesome water slide video

    It's a good video, but how does it advertise microsoft products?

    Where's the tagline?

    "This amount of planning needs Microsoft Project 2007" ?

    By 'eck lad, you should be in advertising. Pure genius.

    Personally I was going for 'You think this was difficult to setup?....'
