  1. fake fake fake. There is no way the cameraman got the guy in the bumblebee suit to spin that fast without having a reaction. Camera doesn't shift.

    1. Cameraman has a go-pro on his helmet and jumped right after bumblebee. I've never jumped off a cliff, but I have jumped from planes and got to know some guys who were very good at capturing video.

    2. The base video is probably real, my issue is with the image of the front jumper. He goes from a spread eagle to a fully tucked spin with no transition beyond a 'flick' from an inserted image of a hand that never makes contact with the jumper.

    3. Oh that. Time for physics lesson by someone who failed physics: anyway Bumblebee generated some rotation as soon as he jumped. If he had gone into an arch position (back arched, arms out) he would've had a stable (yet boring) freefall. Instead, Bumblebee tucked into a somersault right away. The tighter the tuck, the faster the spin. If you've ever watched figure skating, the skater spins, she'll tuck in her arms and spin faster. Same kinda thing.
      The hand was most likely the cameraman going into an arch when he followed.

  2. How do you come out of a spin that fast without being disorientated?
