I really Hope this is real! ---- Please take my money!
Read about this in the Metro on the way to work today.. My first thought was "Shut up and take my money!"
Looks very remarkable.. A real experience. I wonder what the production cost was and if a similar concept will ever be inplimented for military/law enforcement etc reasons. I expect this to impact the thrillseeking market quite a deal.

as much as i want to believe this is real i have to say FAKE!
The side shot when he is taking off makes me think it is fake as it just doesn't look real enough.
Excuse me while I turn off the alarm on my bull excrement radar...
Like LeightonJames said, the side shot at takeoff is extremely dodgy. The way his legs go back... he's only going a few knots, so he's spending a huge amount of effort to keep a straight posture!
Hmm.. After looking beyond my original excitement I'm more inclined to believe this is a fake. Firstly, 14/14. How'd he know he'd achieve flight in exactly 14 videos? Secondly, the takeoff and landing aren't amazingly visible.

Dutch filmmaker admits faking viral 'human bird wing' video | Fox News

Total fake as proven by the guy admitting to it but you could have picked it way earlier with some basic math/science. The wingspan was too small for the weight, arms alone can't provide that kind of power, flap rate too slow, flap motion was just up and down etc. etc.
