This was a 35.2 meter jump. There was tons of planning and physics that went into one jump. It was originally an ad for a Microsoft program called Microsoft office. The rest is on www.megawoosh.com
This is a great film—it turns out it was faked, but, that didn't stop a physicist from using tracker to study it, and then trying to figure out how precisely one would have to aim oneself to hit such a pool.
Check it out—some of the math might seem unfamiliar, but the graphs should make a lot of sense after today.

Great post! And so very topical!
