It isn't a hard illusion to fake, given the patience to do it.

Real guy jumps down the slide.
You might notice that there is a dip where, just for a couple of seconds, the slider is out of sight.
At this point the slider stops and a dummy is propelled forward (think man being fired out of a cannon for example) into the pool.
The dummy splashes down in the paddling pool, and the dude who has been there all along stands up to receive his applause.
It might take time, practice, a hell of a lot of working out, and more than one or two goes to get it perfect, but it's the most likely explaination.
