In it, Raphael Dumont supposedly climbs a mountain, jumps off it, glides over the lake, and then skims along the water to stop himself without a parachute.

A bunch of people are calling it a fake. The reasons:

  • It was posted by World of Wingman, a men's grooming company.
  • There are no other wingsuit videos online with "Raphael Dumont."

We're thinking it's a viral video, not the real deal. The footage of the initial flight looks authentic, but the landing is super sketchy.
