Did August Walker fake this injury?

There's a scene in Mission Impossible: Fallout, where Ethan Hunt and August Walker skydive out of a plane. Suddenly they fly through a thunder cloud and August Walker apparently gets hit by lightning and passes out, forcing Ethan to save him by using his own oxygen tank

Though we later find out that...

...August Walker is really John Lark, the bad guy!

Therefore, did Walker really get that injury, or did he fake it? If yes, why would he fake it? And if he didn't fake it, what was the point of that part of the film anyway?

Best Answer

Totally Agree with Sanpaco's comment - that scene was there for increasing tension of action as well August dived there recklessly and was struct by lightning.

Additionally, I don't think August really knows that he was struck by lightning and passed out, nor that Hunt actually saved him by providing his oxygen tank. You can see that in the dialog after they land on the roof: August suggests to Ethan that his tank is leaking the same way Ethan told August before jump.

So simply, if you don't know about it, how can you fake it?
