5:00 pm
viral videos. >> oh, my god, what happened -- what happened to that guy? >> uploaded daily. >> everybody want to see stuff that goes slightly awry. >> viewed by millions. >> how could this not go viral? >> but looks can be deceiving. >> people are debating, is this real or fake? >> you're my wife? >> yeah. >> holy [ bleep ] -- >> how could he not remember who his wife is. >> oh! >> my good! >> like, yeah.
5:01 pm
>> we'll let you in on the truth. >> big -- that's my impression of everyone on youtube. fake. >> 21 seconds. "caught on camera: viral videos true or false." extreme sports videos. they leave our hearts pounding and adrenaline pumping. >> i think we love extreme videos because we can live through them without risking life. >> when doesn't go well, there's that element of jack ass like, my god, i can't believe that happened. >> no one can believe what happens in this next video. >> you see this high bar on the edge of this cliff. this guy is hanging from it. >> as we all know, base jumping's gotten pretty boring. you need to do things to make it
5:02 pm
more exciting. and he is flipping around. now, one might think that the setup crew would make sure that that high bar was extra sturdy. so as he's flipping, suddenly the high bar just up and collapses. >> and you're kind of wondering, is he falling to his death, you don't really see it. >> oh, my god. what happened? what happened to that guy? >> the base jump gone bad leaves millions on the edge of their seats hoping that the video is fake. >> well, this could easily be faked. the cliff could have a level right below it that we haven't seen. so even if it did break, maybe he just fell two feet. >> there's something about the guy's reaction that makes me think maybe this is fake because i don't understand why a guy who just saw his buddy fly off a cliff doesn't even get up. >> i thought this was definitely real. this is the kind of thing that the people who will go base jumping are just crazy enough to do. set up a high bar, you know, to make it even scarier. >> it's a very exciting demonstration of newton's laws.
5:03 pm
>> sir isaac would be proud. we've got another camera angle showing that the terrifying tumble is, in fact, legit. the stunt gone wrong is performed by base jumper richard hendrickson for the norwegian television show "normal madness." >> a lot of viral videos speak to our deepest instincts of wanting to see something but almost wincing or peaking between our fingers. i think any video that taps into that can be powerful viewing. >> have no fear, that other angle reveals henrik sen surviving the nearly 4,000-foot fall. luckily, he keeps his composure, opens his parachute, and lands with barely a scratch. it would have been much worse. henrik sen's head comes within inches of slamming into the rock face. and seconds later, the apparatus comes crashing down, narrowly missing the base jumper. >> after this they probably had a talk about what we could have done differently. people make mistakes, but this is a big mistake. >> you don't have to be on a

5:05 pm

5:06 pm

5:07 pm
pellet gun. the knife is actually a wizard knife. i did buy it at a flea market like 15 years ago. the shotgun an air soft shotgun. it's compressed air that shoots a plastic pellet. >> jeff uses an intricate method to create the -- intricate method to create the ceiling debris. it's done with a tv antenna and paper towels. >> i take the paper towel here, and i had bits and pieces of paper towels on top. when i shot the shotgun, it hit the paper towel, and the pieces fell down. >> the makeshift special effect has a few kinks. [ bleep ]. >> i would shoot it and nothing would come down. nothing. [ bleep ]. >> he perfects the system and it's time to roll on the action. >> ah. that's how you do it. everything was improvised. it took four or five takes to get it right. >> after about an hour of shooting, jess nails the
5:08 pm
performance. he adds some finishing touches and edit. >> i did the muzzle flash. i put that in. the smoke, that's all fake. and sound effects for the gun -- [ gunshot ] >> and the sound effects for hitting the ceiling and making that sound of the crumbling down. >> jess uploads the video to his youtube page, and soon it's the shotgun blast heard around the internet. >> this is kind of one of those you have to watch it videos. you're like, in is either going to be funny or horrible, but either way i'm watching it. [ gunshot ] >> everybody wants to see stuff that goes slightly awry. >> ma? and bam, it happens and it surprises you. >> viewers fire off comments debating the validity of this haul video gone bad. >> some people say, ah, that's fake. yeah, all the people that said it was fake, guess what, you're right. there you go. i got most of you. ma?

5:20 pm
bear footage ever filmed. said, wow, i got something pretty special here. >> brad hopes others find it special, too, and uploads the video to his youtube page with the intriguing title "a grizzly ate my go pro." >> a catchy title generally helps. so "a grizzly bear ate my go pro" caught attention. >> including the attention of skeptics that can't bear the fact that the video is legit. many are convinced brad lured to the cub to its viral debut. >> one of the reactions i often get is, wow, did you put honey on the camera or something. of course i didn't because that, first of all, is illegal. second of all, if you give a bear any kind of a food reward or something, then they can become very dangerous. >> "a grizzly ate my go pro" becomes wildly successful, gaining millions of hits. >> i think it went viral because it was fun to see the inside of a bear's mouth. who can say they've got than close and lived to tell the tale. >> i just hope that it grabbed people's attention enough for them to say, you know, bears are
