Here's what I'd like to do. I'd like to set up the producers of stuff like this. There's the South American Chuckie video circulating. Chuckie smashes a bus stop glass and charges unsuspecting people with a knife.
What I'd like to see is that someone proposes this and the camera crew recruits a person carrying a prop handgun. Rig Chuckie with some squibs and fake blood. Chuckie jumps out, passerby ventilates him, and as he "dies" he grabs the a-hole producer and says "This is all your fault!"
There would never be another "You're on Candid Camera" horror show again.
My guess is none of it was real - everyone in the video were more than likely paid actors. This has become a popular marketing trend lately - creating these viral videos to promote new products. Pepsi did it last year with the Jeff Gordon "prank", which was also fake.

Evidently a promo for an upcoming horror movie...[Watch]
On the surface it seems funny, but I wonder how people can presume to take liberties to do this to others, and what makes the production studio's risk management department so sure stunts like this won't trigger a heart attack or a physical reaction where someone being startled could injure themselves or others...
Maybe someone who suddenly leaped back can find a good ambulance chaser and claim whiplash...
