What on earth is going on with the belly flops? How are they surviving / rebounding from that without puking?

Is it secretly a full trampoline, not a pad? Anything less than a spring would cause blunt trauma, let alone neck whiplash.

It seems to be essentially a full trampoline. You should see the show live, it’s really amazing. Even the people I’ve brought that are not into Michael Jackson wound up loving it. This particular segment is in the Vegas show but is far more impressive within the full production on their much larger stage.

I’d say it’s the best Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas, and I’ve seen all of them over the years.
