    Props ( pun intended ) to him.

    That's insane!!! :scared:
    I agree though.....some serious skill with landing that thing. Glad it turned out well. I wonder if it left a brown spot?? :smilielol:

     :iagree:

    If its real, its incredible!

    But I'm not so sure it is. The video is very pixelated, and get very blurry at a couple of key moments, making it very hard to tell if its been enhanced. The "bounce" at the end is pretty suspicious, very sharp, and a single sharp bounce and then sets it down soft. I'm a little suspicious of the physics of the landing, just doesn't look right.

    It's not real...its a animation. When the guy gets out of the plane compare the plane to the person. Also the guy that is talking isn't a very good actor. It is nicely done though.

    OK, that's what I get for posting at midnight when my eye is less than critical.   :misbehaving:

    It is a viral video and looks like my brain got infected.  :icon16:  But it's still pretty cool at first watch.  There's even some decent debate as to whether it could really be done.
