Definitely ! The guy had to film him that far away ? right ....

Also since when is the gopro camera that steady ? He kept his head constantly still ? No way. The way they cut the video from one view to another is crappy as well.

Some guys just having fun with getting a video to go viral...

Nice try.;)

Probably is a fake :o Commissioned by what company? Could be Turnigy or GoPro according to Live Science. http://www.livescience.com/19215-human-bird-wings-video.html

"As mentioned prominently in his video descriptions, website and press releases, Smeets' wings are manipulated using Nintendo Wii remote controllers and accelerometers from an HTC Wildfire S android smartphone, and they're powered by Turnigy motors. He used a GoPro helmet camera to film his flight."

Hmmm...I guess we'll have to keep dreaming!

Atleast the JetMan is real!:D http://www.jetman.com/
