Fantastic. At which point do you think he thought 'I may have
overcooked this a little'...

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".

Think the "Superman" pose is deliberate, or did he have a sudden flash of
