That's such a great clip. I came across it last year and could not stop laughing! I still can't tell if its real or fake. I think I put too much thought into it.

Mythbusters busted it. He would have cartwheeled if he really had that much propulsion. Note that during takeoff, he dangles like a pendulum, so he must be on a wire.

Oh, that's a drag. I'll keep an eye out for the Mythbusters segment.
