I see a few comments claiming it's an April Fool's prank. I sure hope not.

There's a Redbull sponsored video of this guy from the day before, so probably not a prank. I'm guessing they partially sponsor him and had the first right to publish.

NOT an April Fool's joke. Maybe.
But still pretty fucking crazy.

I use that exact body armor that he is using for my summertime motorbike adventures.

(Even though it's very obvious in the flight at the end that he's being suspended by some sort of edited out cable since his body's moving smoothly while his arms are moving around randomly, which is not how the physics of supporting yourself by your arms would work, no matter how easily you can do a flag at the gym.)
