Awesome! I posted one with two guys doing it back and forth between them:

Let's try it with a basketball.

This was floating around the office in a gif format. Neat lil trick.

how on earth does anyone figure out that they can do this?

i suppose it's a cool way to break your neck

I cant wait for the fail versions of this trick to start showing up.

thats amazing. i thought he'd screwed it up but then, as far as i can tell, magic happened, and he popped upright....

I call fake.
That ball is actually a moving pivot point in a gigantic rotating mock-gymnasium.
The actors in the background are all highly skilled wall climbers, and are pretty good at holding on in a giant spinning room situation.

The dude just followed the pivot and jumped over it as it spun, giving the illusion (well pulled off I might add) that he was actually just performing a neat acrobatics trick. Its not possible to do that IRL, its all trickery, thank you modern digital cameras and editing suits.

Brilliant viral ad for fitness balls (which can NOT be used to actually perform this "trick")

Ammetures.

That isn't a yoga ball, it's his parachute.

Put a shirt on.

Part of me really, really wants to try that, the other part of me really really wants to stay out of hospital.

I have no idea which bit is going to win!

The next Escalopter-ish fad.

Fake.

They CG'ed out the harness.

If ever there was a video that needed slowmo, this would be the one.

Only with more horrible accidents.

I'm giving this an *eia

You land wrong and your neck goes bye bye

Adding video to channels (Eia) - requested by ponceleon.

Whoa.

Upvote by simple virtue of the fact that I replayed it about 20 times. Cool trick.

All we needed was an "Eyyyyyyy!" at the end there and this would have been the new "jumping the shark".

It was inevitable.
