We Present to You: The Human Catapult (Video)

If skydiving or bungee jumping don't give you a rush, then maybe this is more your speed.  

I'm not the type of person who seeks out adventure or excuses to cheat death, but this is something that I'd definitely love to try!

A man named Jason Bell is the genius behind the human catapult.  Yup, you read that right.  It's a device he invented that launches people like a slingshot through the air onto something preferably soft to break their fall.

The principle behind it is relatively simple: it essentially works the same way as a see-saw, hurtling the subject out into the sky in the most hold-your-breath manner possible.

As you can see from the video above, it looks utterly terrifying and fun all at the same time... which is right up my alley!  That is, if I'm able to walk away unscathed to tell the tale.
