At first glance, I questioned it too. What are the chances of having a camera ready and catching a Carver in free fall! But, we have the before & after pics that lend credence to the event.
What really seals the deal for me is the splash. Let me explain...
I have the hi-res image. Water spray, or a splash, is *extremely* difficult to digitize. Trying to accurately reproduce the pattern of spray created by a particular shape, coupled with velocity, reflection and shadows would be the Holy Grail in PhotoShop. I've checked for continuity of shadows as well as pixelization along hard edges. In my opinion, it's definately NOT P-chopped.
There's no doubt in my mind this is authentic.
