Here's the full video from the opposite angle (you can see the cameraman in the clip above). If anybody still thinks this is real let me know. I have a really nice bridge I'm trying to sell.

I'm currently awaiting the delivery of my brand new statue of liberty. Only 2000 bucks. A nice nigirian prince sold it to me. How much for that bridge?

The exhaust of his propulsion system is pointing horizontally, so why would he be off the ground?

If there was that much trust from an extinguisher, how would you use one?

...

None of this makes any sense.

...

Therefore you must acquit.

[–]Blue-Blood 1 point2 points ago

I can't be 100% certain as I watched the vid on my phone. But it appears like he is being suspended from a rope. I have deduced that he has rigged a wheel/pulley to the hand rail on the ceiling. Thereby achieving his feat of flight.

You don't get to be an old dude by not deftly avoiding people flying around on fire extinguishers, after all.

So what the fuck is holding him up?

[–]1309msf -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nothing. His friend pulled the emergency brake... so physics did the the rest.

[–]rspeed 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Are you suggesting that forward motion creates lift?

[–]1309msf 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

After considering your reply, i have to admit, that you have a point. There is something fishy.

He stays up in the air for about two seconds, during which time his height above the floor of the train remains unchanged. The train stopping would in no way cause him to stay in the air. Unless the train was falling down a hole, there has to be something holding him up.

[–]Kunkletown 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Theory: Train drove into a canyon, hitting the opposite cliff face and fell down. Now we just need to search news reports for this happening.

funn to look at, but i would have beaten the shit out of these jack asses... totally irresponsible. and yes i am THAT old

Absolutely!

[–]autocorrector 2 points3 points ago

For the uninformed: While he jumps with the extinguisher, his buddy hits the emergency stop, causing him to continue flying forward.

[–]RecallAP 48 points49 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, what ever the speed or acceleration of the train, it does not effect the motion of the y axis, ie. Gravity. Impossible to keep him in the air for a longer period of time.

It's fake.

[–]kleinerDAX 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Agree - he has nothing to give him lift... the extinguisher is pushing him horizontally, not vertically.

[–]Kunkletown 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the extinguisher is pushing him horizontally

Barely.

[–]autocorrector 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

True, the y is probably faked. If you look at the people in the background though, they all suddenly recoil, as if the train accelerated/decelerated.

[–]xxsmokealotxx 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

or they could just be jumping back because some fucker set off the fire extinguisher in front of them... it is rather dramatic..

[–]RecallAP 7 points8 points ago

[–]TurtleBird -5 points-4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Your analysis of the x axis is also in correct. Objects in motion stay in motion. Even if the train suddenly stopped, he would not suddenly move faster is the opposite direction.

[–]autocorrector 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Frame of reference moves with train and decelerates.

[–]capitancaveman 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Dis is incorrect. Just imagine braking hard in the car, you are pushed forward in your seat, and thats being strapped down to it. Now imagine being tossed in the air first ;p

[–]TurtleBird 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Right, he would continue moving forward, not toward the back of the train.

[–]capitancaveman 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The OP said "causing him to continue flying forward" to which you replied, the "Analysis of the x axis is also in correct." Maybe it was a typo and you meant to agree with him because you went on to agree with him? Then it got sort of confusing in the following sentence.

[–]TurtleBird 0 points1 point ago

A slew of things happened here: 1) My grammar sucked 2) I haven't actually taken physics since college (5ish years ago) 3) Finally, I knew what I was trying to say but could not articulate it, and ended up being too lazy to put in additional research/effort. Downvotes were deserved.
