Microsoft Germany has released an ad, very real, but is a hoax. In this ad, a guy in a neoprene suit goes barreling down a waterslide, flies off the end and through the air, travelling a great distance in the air and splashes down in a pool. It’s the MegaWoosh! See for yourself!
How this stunt is done. Here is an explanation. The stunt man starts down the slide, but a rope keeps him from going too far, the thing that’s airborne isn’t a person, but is instead animation, and the principal character ended up in the pool by dropping off a small ramp. When you add up all together, it looks like a real stunt.
This story is only a few days old and has already captivated millions of viewers around the world. Type the word “megawoosh” into any search engine and you get thousands of hits. Ultimately, it didn’t happen and looks like one of the greatest fakes in the history of World Wide Web.
