It makes sense. If you have enough speed and hit the water at the right angle I would think it would be exactly like skipping a rock across the water. I would say real.

I'm going with BS, the ratio of weight to surface area of a person is MUCH higher than a flat rock, you simply can't push down against the water with the weight of your body and get traction. There's lots of crafty fake stuff just like this floating around the internet, remember the video of the guy going down a water slide, flying 300 feet through the air and landing in a kiddie pool?

Yes, and your point?? If it's on the interwebnets, then it is real. Gosh!

I dunno.. They seem to fall thru at about the same spot, but ya never know.. In theory it makes sense. And it's easy to walk on water, or even stand on it.................Wait till it freezes..

haha yeah it just doesn't make much sense kind of strange that this is discovered just now in 2010 that all you have to do to walk on water is run in a curved path lol

If that is the case then why do you skid across the water wjen you fall off waterskis or something.

Or why does a car hydroplane in wet weather? Probably fake but the science is sound. Putting the curve into the run would increase the water resistence by pushing against it in 2 directions. The harder you push on water the harder it gets. I still say most likely BS, but I'd try it

the law of physics sez that a bumble bee cant fly. so your gunna try and say its impossible from some rules and regulations some jack ass 3000 years ago made after an apple fell on his head your sadly mistaken. ohh and perpetual motion is impossible too but its been invented twice. just my 2 cent. i believe it.
