Not to spoil the mystery, but it's fake.  Very well done, but fake.
The tip is the water splashes straight up even though the "stuntman"
is hitting the pool at a very narrow angle and at high speed.  The
water should have splashed up the mountainside.

That was my point. Hopefully better stated in the context of the discussion on the original list I thought I was replying to. (Multiple motorcycle listserves, it’s a wonder I don’t do it more often.)

I thought the literal impossibility of survival was a dead (no pun intended :- ) giveaway.

(If nothing else, and there is a _lot_ else, I once rode a waterslide in a rinky dink waterpark and even though my velocity was much slower, my trajectory much flatter and the pool deeper I still hit bottom hard enough to hurt myself. This guy would have hit bottom hard enough to die.)

Ha! Great. Like the "video" of the guy jumping his motorcycle, and
landing it in the back of a van.
