Fake or Real?

and disappointed that Galaki didn't make this thread

-edit-

wired: there is nothing wrong with the video http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/03/analysis-of-the-human-birdwings/
"So, where do I stand on the issue of real or fake? I said I would leave that up to you, didn’t I? Let me just say that there is nothing in this video that indicates it must be a fake."

"The video of Jarno Smeets' flight is cool, and I don't see evidence that it was faked. It seems reasonable to accomplish"

You put part of my name in the poll!
I don't know if it's fake or not but he sure looked odd doing that. XD

Way fake.

It does look a bit too easy for him to flap those giant wings with arm power, the air resistance will be huge. Pretty cool if it is real though, but he's got nothing on this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIJLLkTrF4w

Jamie from Mythbusters thinks it can be done.. he talks about this project here http://www.tested.com/articles/43440-thoughts-on-the-mechanics-of-assisted-human-flight/

the dude is wearing a special backpack which does the flapping

He's not doing the actual flapping - his arm movements merely CONTROL the flapping. The flapping itself is done by the suit he's wearing. You can hear the engine that does it in the video at about 25 seconds.

Well once again I missed something due to watching the video muted, I should stop doing that.

Lol, why'd you do that? XD

Normally because I am listening to music, in this case though I was watching Archer.
