What is this youtube video?

Anyone know what this video is? Its titled skydiver crashes into cow.. It looks pretty awful. Anyone know what the hell happened? Was this a fatality?

It's a phone commercial. Go to http://www.incrediblefall.com

At the end, you can pick who survives.

Aside from the ending, the actual skydive is pretty scary IMO. I can count a couple near miss collisions and probably a possible fatality when the cameraman is over top of the subject on the initial pull. Good thing for both of them the subject missed the pull the first time.

I'm no expert on video, but I couldn't see an edit to something fake. It looked real. I'd like to know if anyone knows for sure. Weather's no good for jumping right now. Nothing else to do.

Disclaimer: I'm just a lowly student so what the fuck do I know about the nuances of skydiving.

I would assume that if you had a malfunction followed by a reserve malfunction - which the video seems to imply - then the helmet (or wherever else) mounted camera would not capture several shots of your legs fairly stable below you. Unless you decided to sit-fly to your death by cow impact.

I also would assume that you would hear on the video, instead of "Oh no!" something more along the lines of "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"

Just a thought...

If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you.

Really? Those would be your last words? Fuck me? Looking for any takers?

He said what I thought a person would say, "OOOOPEEENN!!!"

I think my last words (knowing I had a camera on my head) would be an "I love you" to those I love.

Would it be too sick of me to start a thread asking what your last words would be?

I'd say "Stick a fork in me, I'm done"

"In a mad world, only the mad are sane"

My last words would be along the lines of either 'Fuck me' or 'This is going to suck for a brief moment' or 'This better kill me or my dad's gonna'.

Seriously though, about the video... Knowing nothing about cutaways other than in theory as a student, why/how would you get more than one clear shot of your lower legs and feet perpendicular to the horizon if you had no canopy over you?

I think it's a fake.

I'm also one of those people you never want to watch a movie with - "His shoe was untied and now it's tied and now it's untied again. Who edited this shit?"

If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you.

I'd like that 1:27 minutes back please.

I think it's STOOOOOPID!

For sure, it's fake. The cut to the cg shot looks like it happens around 1:05-1:06. After he pulls his reserve, you see his legs flail, some spinning ground, and then there's a slight jump in the video.

This old video has been discussed here before and yes it is a fake.

Its actually a commercial for telecommunications operator if I remember right...

You can clearly see after he tosses the fake PC the video cuts and is faked...
