I don't think I believe this. When flying he not only holds on with one hand but his arm is bent. He'd have to be able to hold himself halfway through a one-handed pull-up for >20 seconds at a time while in mid air... and why is he holding a camera on a selfie stick when he could just wear a head-mounted version ?
EDIT : Nope. As this video makes clear, it's definitely not a fake

ReplyDeleteWell, I am not saying it's proof at all. I'm saying I don't think I believe it. It just doesn't look right to me, is all. I hope I'm wrong, because I'm a big fan of daft people abusing technology at their own risk.
ReplyDeleteOh, well, if he's known for this anyway then I will defer to reputation. Doesn't stop me enjoying it if it's not quite as advertised, I just like to know.
