Is that real or AI? If it is real why did the person taking the video not run or ski to help the person?

I've seen enough stupid stuff online to believe that is real.
I do my best to insure vertical axis stability when I am skiing and inversion of the operating environment is not permitted under normal operating conditions.
I will admit to having been inverted but it sure as hell wasn't planned.
In one memorable circumstance, I rotated several times. head , feet, head, feet, head, feet, head, feet.
No chair involved., just moguls. great big moguls. Volkswagen moguls. wicked fun right up until it wasn't.

Well that does not sound like it went to plan

Unlike when Travis P does a backflip, hits stuff and then does a front flip ... on purpose. Oh and minutes after he broke his hand warming up for it.

The full thing if you want to watch it
