So, Guy 1 goes out of frame just before the ramp starts, at about 11 seconds, where his progress is halted suddenly. Either a dummy or some pretty sophisticated video CGI/looping is launched from there, and lands in the pool. Guy 2 is already in the pool, or just on the other side of it for protection, and stands up to receive the congratulations? 'Cause I don't see, given how small the pool is, how such a thing could be so reliably accurate to avoid serious injury/death on 9/10 attempts.
