That must have been some rush! The amazing feeling you get at the top of the launch, I would so love to try that.

Um, ok......

Looks like fun

Nice

that could have gone sooooooo wrong.....

nice looks like its from stunt junkies(tv show)

I was waiting to see him catapulted right into the bottom of the bridge the bungie was tethered from!

this is a lot more dangerous as it looks. if the force is too strong for a man to withstand then they would be knocked out while taking off....whos going to deploy the shoots?

it's extreme and fun, but that's all until the first fatality.;

I did something similar to this in Salamanca, Spain when I was a foreign student there in 1998. However, our rope was attached to a crane (about 50 metres up) and when you reached the peak of the ascent, you came back down head first and suspended by your ankles. The whole thing was sponsored by Red Bull and basically I got to go for free as the bar I worked in was part of the promotion. I've never seen that kind of setup since, and I'm wondering if it got banned for being too dangerous. I certainly had a sore neck for a few days afterwards, although it was a buzz I'll never forget (not just the catapult bit, but the 30 minutes of hyperactivity after and then a really nice warm feeling!)

Hey... whats with the parachute? Pussy...

The crane bungie is pretty common in the carnival/rodeo/office party circuit.

Seriously, doing that is just stupid and ignorant. The acceleration at the start is very likely to make you pass out unless you're conditioned for it... and even then there's always a risk. And if you pass out, you're not waking up in one piece.

I want to do that really bad!!!

mean

Screw that.... Id pass on that opportunity

some fulls

Too Dangerous for my taste. Miscalculate something, & you could find your head through the bottom of the bridge.

If you get knocked out with the G-Forces, you'll be safe, I suppose. You have to be conscious to release the Bungee Cable before deploying the chute.

Wow . Awesome Mann
