Coincidentally a nice bit of blur as he takes off.

If I remember even remotely right. For a human to produce enough lift his chest bone would have to stick out 6 foot and the muscle mass on the chest and back would tear your ligaments etc.

So fake.

Are you serious Steve?

They've got HD cameras there yet they footage of him flying is terrible.

That's outside of the fact him waving his arms about a bit clearly isn't making him fly

if you read the background the arms are electronically assisted by brushless motors. It could be fake but I'm not convinced on this one

Put it this way, iv never seen any internet fakes with so much history, background, and video blogging, just to create a few seconds to fool a few people on youtube.

Iv seen fakes that have made me think twice for a bit, but theres usually nothing else apart from the vid.

Why bother with it all, just make the flying vid and lol at people who believe it if thats what you want to achieve.

That is cool

If it is fake, why would you go to all that effort building it? Usually a fake would just be the final project rather than documenting the whole process.
