[Phys-l] bogus waterslide projectile jump video

[Peter Rea <Peter@arborsci.com>]

Last week Arbor Scientific shared a video clip of a man in a neoprene wetsuit sliding down a water slide, hitting a ramp, and then flying 115 feet through the air to land safely in a small children's pool.

This video sparked conversations all over the world as well as with all our CoolStuff newsletter readers. Whether or not the video was real or not does not detract from the fact that events like these are a great catalyst for science discussions.

We've since produced a follow up page that gives all the details as to how and why this video was produced. It can be found at: http://www.arborsci.com/CoolStuff/New_CoolStuff_Articles/Video_Followup.aspx

A follow-on to to the bogus waterslide projectile jump video:

How many clues can your students find that might tell which of these  
two images is the original?
