Watch to the end. You'll never guess where it lands.

Of course the pig is real, but the whole thing is put together as a fake, but still clever.
No camcorder I have ever seen could survive a fall like that, landing on hard ground. And
if it landed in soft mud, the lens would be covered in mud since the lens is pointed down the
whole time it is falling. Yet the lens stays crystal clear after it lands.
It shows an almost subliminal flash of mud to put the "soft landing in mud is why it survived" thought
in the back of your mind.
And as "luck" would have it, the camera falls with the lens pointed down, but stops with the
lens pointed up.
