If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
Nothing like the Japanese to do something this crazy and stupid so the rest of the world can laugh. Didn't they try this on Mythbusters? I only caught about two minutes of that episode. Anyway, link via b3ta

Greg Quick said on 04/18/06 @ 04:40 PM: You will also note that he is spinning in a circle, BUT STILL FLIES STRAIGHT!!!! oh brother.
Jake said on 04/18/06 @ 04:44 PM: Still, the fact that some idiot volunteered to be tossed in a lake by a crane is still dumbfounding.
