I saw this too and wonder why the flight looked so different in
height and range from the different camera angles. I also wondered
why he did not spin in place like an model rocket engine launched
without a rocket (experience and regrets).
I had not thought about there being a tow line above and wondered if
the guy was riding a tether or rod for a bit so I looked at little
closer for some evidence. Capturing to quicktime and looking frame by
frame:
-in the scene where a man throws a inflated ring, before he throws
there is a cable that appears to be coming up from the dock behind
his head at angle consistent with the launch. Maybe.
- about three to four frames after launch, the bottle array is turned
nearly at right angle to the direction of motion yet he continues to
ascend. Some external force must be providing guidance.
