Have seen this before. Wonder if that's *really* any type of paper product at all? From the printing on the top surface, which you can't really make out, it could just be 'standardish' styrofoam type stuff instead.

Could do like 1/2" thick foamboard on something like this, but then again, that is not really 'paper' either.

A G80 would likely flutter and shred the craft in the video. You can see it shake some when he catches it on the 'landing'.

Wow!
I don't think I'd want to be the guy catching it.
It's pointy.
