The ‘documentary’ uses the type of science not seen since 1980s movies to explain how magnets make it possible for a man to throw himself off a 61m platform with no cable.
Of course, it’s fake. Sorry. And there’s a feeling of ‘more could have been done here given the effort’, but it’s well worth watching for the point the jumper ‘rebounds’.
