Actually, I considered it when I first saw it, and decided it could be real.
If they had enough tests with a dummy that weighs the same as this guy, and they get the aim right, well then it's perfectly possible.
Stupid, but possible. And I don't think he'd die from the impact, it's not that far. People jump more than 50m off cliffs into water and that's perfectly fine. This guy's going at an angle, and not much more than that, so it's plausible.
*goes to search for the actual statements saying it's a hoax.

I never thought this was in any way real. Not claiming some Internet Prescience, but the way they depicted the body landing seemed way too sudden and violent for a human to have not made other News about it.
