Does this viral video show a man's head explode while inflating a dinghy? An old viral video (apparently from 2001) shows a man inflating a dinghy by mouth, when a child jumps on, increasing the pressure and causing the man's head to explode in a puff of smoke. It has been widely seen, including at 9gag and YouTube. The commenters on both argue about whether it is fake or real. Did a man's head explode from inflating a dinghy?

If you observe at the top of the linked youtube video you can see it says "www.theviralfactory.com".

I found their youtube channel via archive.org click on "Work" and the "youtube". The video stream won't work, but there is a link to The Viral Factory channel. On there you can find their copy of the linked video.

Quoting the description:

> This was the first clip we ever made, to launch our company. We received 300 emails telling us we were sick bastards for blowing up some poor dudes head. We didn't, it's fake in case you're still wondering.
