I don't think it does, there was a bit of furore about it when that first came out. The site that posted it never expected it to be popular but the wow factor spread it quickly, then someone pointed out it was against the rules and as it was a very small profession it was obvious who was in the vid. The site then tried to pull the vid but that was hopeless...

I was double and triple checking my safety lines at Go Ape... never mind 1800ft!

The American was just a minute or so into his flight when he misjudged his trajectory over one of the many ridges on the South African landmark. He smashed both his legs as he clobbered into the mountainside, but managed to save his life by quickly deploying his emergency parachute to slow his descent onto the rocky terrain below.
Corliss is still in hospital, but it hoping to be released later this week: "Mr Corliss needed extensive surgery on his legs and also needed skin grafts to repair the damage," said a hospital spokeswoman.
"He suffered serious and injuries and remains in the hospital, although he has been making good progress in recovery. One of the reasons he is still with us is that we needed to check how the wounds would heal from the skin grafts, but we hope to be able to discharge him on Friday. After that he plans to return home immediately to America to be with his family."
Still, at least he's got his laptop to entertain him in hospital, as he has now posted this latest video to share his excruciating moment with the world.

Couple were. The 2 basketball shots from the other side of the court was an advert with LeBron James, 100% faked. The golf shot was also faked (Like the Tiger Woods 2012 game trailer where he walked/made a shot on water, very similar one).

Mostly real though. Absolutely amazing stuff

Le me tonight getting taken out by the (70 yr old) cameraman, then me taking out some guy (who started muttering about insurance lol). I skied before but thought I'd try to teach me snowboarding, is good fun but slow learning, lots of bumbruising. Xscape=£23/hr or  £21 for 4 hours (uhhh..), not too shabby

Was pretty surprised to read this

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/olympics/17980607

Windsurfing out, Kitesurfing in.

And this is from someone who is heavily involved in it lol

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/kite-boarding-wrong-choice-olympics-says-expert-102650487--spt.html

However, Israel's Amit Inbar, who runs a kite surfing school, said the ISAF did not appreciate how dangerous the sport was.
"I think they have made a very big mistake because I think the people at ISAF don't really understand the implications of the decision ... and the dangers of the sport," said Inbar.
Inbar, who represented Israel in windsurfering at the Barcelona and Sydney Games, said there was a real possibility of competitors being seriously injured or killed, particularly at race starts, and when battling for position around marker buoys.

.
.
Israel's sailing chief Yehuda Maayan, however, said ISAF's decision to dump windsurfing in favour of kite boarding came about as a result of an error by the Spanish delegate to the Melbourne meeting where the vote was held last month.
Maayan had told Reuters delegates were probably confused or didn't understand the motion because of language difficulties.
The Spanish Sailing Federation has since admitted its mistake saying its representative voted in favour of kite boarding in error.


I used to windsurf a lot, ran a club here and we had tons of fun and many races when the wind did show. Surprisingly, windsurfing almost died a death, and many boarders went to kitesurfing. I bought myself some kite kit (a board that doesn't support your weight but that cuts through the water, while you dangle from 16 m2 of cloth with an inflatable tube at the leading edge. When you're ready to go for the first time, hooked in to this huge source of power, you really wonder if it's a wise idea. To be safer, you have to have an onshore or cross/onshore wind, but this makes it kind of unsafe too because if you get launched, you can get dumped on the beach or thrown into buildings.

Will be interesting to see how it pans out and how many people die in the first event.
