Cool :thumbsup

Looks like hard work

Nice video, but it's fake.

fake....

nice....

nice :thumbsup

Got to love the dutch!

1st to stick there fingers in a dyck
1st to fly like birds1

wow, so cool dude :)

Nice one!
 

Cheers dude! video is cool.. great job.. keep it up..

crazy guys!

Awesome video, is it really fake?

Simply beautiful!

Hmmm... somehow I don't believe that real human can produce enough power with bare hands and lift himself off - we've seen enough old movies where the first pioneers in flying have done something similar even with bigger wings. Ask NASA guys who owes tube sites around if this can be possible - we all know people can't fly - they only fall with style - delta planners, parachutes - everything is just a cool falling. To fight the gravity you need a huge power to lift your ass out of mother Earth.

It was on the news here, its fake

jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja so annoying :1orglaugh

no shit.that cant be real

Amazing!

How did they fake it?

It's so obvious that is fake, I can not believe that Gizmodo, Techcrunch as well as Wired all 3 reported about it and said it could be real...

I first suspected they would be in of the hoax somehow, but they have now added new articles in which they say it's most likely a hoax though.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

According to Rick Santorum, this is the way we euthanise people. We let old people fly too close to the sun.

Gizmodo has an update:

CGI Experts Say Flying Bird Man Is Fake

ADG

That shit is obvious CGI. How the fuck is anyone falling for that? lol

fake or not it is still cool :)

what is wrong with some of you? Of course it's fake.

I saw a lot of people flying by today, since the trains aren't going properly.

What on earth makes you even doubt it? It's on the internets people!!11!ONE

Haha.. I posted the video because I thought the video itself is clever and very well done. The animation/mechanics of the wings etc. Obviously it can't be real to anyone who understands anything about the physics of flight. Seems pretty obvious as well that a human can't "flap" like that for any period of time with any real resistance or weight. The helmet cam was a nice touch.

It looks real though and the video is really well done.

The dutch are ... bored.

Lol - Everyone screaming CG sound like a bunch of crybabies.

Check out the analyisis of the video above by WIRED magazine:

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/20...man-birdwings/

They look at real physics of flight, and analysis of the video's and more. Great article and according to them, nothing in the video indicates that its fake.

it is 100% fake grow a brain stupid. just because an article says it's real doesn't mean shit. matching an outcome with science doesn't take a genius.

that guy has no clue, all he tested is if a tripod was used and a shake effect was added later.
Everything indicates that it's fake.
http://gizmodo.com/5895235/cgi-exper...rd-man-is-fake

it is 100% fake, and anyone thinking different should have his brain checked

Yeah just look at the way the guys arms are moving half to 3/4's of the way through the video, if the straps were that loose there's no way he'd be able to get any power at all.

Also the whole thing looks way to flimsy to hold his weight. Not saying it's not possible, but this video is 100% fake.

well, it's supposed to be like that, he wears (wii) sensors around his arms and his movement is send to the machine that flaps the wings.

But yeah, either way it's fake anyway.

Proud to be Dutch :thumbsup

Hahah. You and MediaGuy....


hahaha.. wow.

Contrarian to the end...

Technology Man Who Flew Like a Bird in Viral Video Admits Farce Was Part of Online Experiment

Posted on March 22, 2012 at 6:20pm by Liz Klimas Liz Klimas


A few days ago, we brought you the too-good-to-be-true story of Jarno Smeets who realized his dream of flying like a bird by building his own wings. It was an endeavor that he chronicled in both blog posts and video clips on his website Human Birdwings for eight months.

Shortly after the video of his second test flight of the wings went viral ? it has more than 3 million YouTube hits ? it was called out as a fake by experts in the film industry. There were also questions raised about his identity and resume.

Now Smeets, or shall we say Floris Kaayk, has admitted it was all an elaborate hoax. Wired reports that Kaayk gave a tell-all interview on a Dutch TV show where he said he is really a filmmaker and animator by trade ? not a mechanical engineer as he is described on his blog. He also said that this project was part of an ?experiment about online media.?




.:upsidedow

Offcourse it is real, we already practicing since the 70s.
There was even a TV show, Vlieg er eens uit - Te land ter zee en in de lucht.
People try to fly with self made wings for years here.

I was fooled, poor me, and somehow I deserve to be called stupid? Thanks for that.

And yes, read today in popsci that it was fake. It still looked pretty good and sure fooled me.

In the forefront of AeroSpace adventures:thumbsup:stoned

Yeah, I read in the news this morning that he's a fake. He confessed and all.

One minute you're eating a chicken sandwich laced with acid, the next minute you're flying high!

I concur.

That's fake.

This one is not:
