Stupid human tricks: human sling shot

[u]Girl in human sling shot[/u]

So, what happens if the thing starts oscillating a bit more vertically?

Isn’t that more like horizontal bungee jumping?

I thought they were going to catapult her into the air, maybe to land in a lake.

Yeah. I just used the same title they did. And I still don’t see how they could prevent the thing from developing an elliptical oscillation that would eventually slam the rider into the ground.

let me be the first to say, that that looks like a complete blast!

I would do that in a heart beat!

Sign me up!

Where was her helmet? It looked very dangerous to me.

I think she was sitting on it!
:wink:

They stopped the video before she came back to the ground. Perhaps she died.

If it triggered a severe arrhythmia, yes.

Ah , imortal youth…

This puts a whole new spin on the notion of “projectile vomiting” … :boggle:
