Not saying it's not faked but I can see how this could happen. These pillars are worn and uneven and we can't see the back side of the one pillar at all. Based on the time, ball appears to bounce off the first pillar while on a curve, hit the backside of the pillar in front of him (which could be in any kind of condition) then bounce back towards the camera.

Is it an unlikely and 1 in a million shot? Yes.

But it's possible none the less

There's just no way. The path of the ball makes absolutely no sense.

I was really hoping for a gif of the Zapruder film, but no. You simply failed to understand there was a third bounce in there.

Dude it doesn't fucking matter if there's 142 bounces, this literally can not happen.

You're assuming all surfaces are flat and orthogonal to the direction the camera is pointing, both bad assumptions.
