I’m guessing insurance companies the world over would be despising MAKE for years to come ;)
Shadyman: Hey, if I can get coverage that will let me use a plasma cutter from a neon-green-shag-hair-sofa… then I’m sure make can get coverage for this!
That was one HELL of a ride. Someone’s gonna die on that thing.
Brain damage anyone?
Brain damage? Do you mean as a result or a prerequisite?
Both! All it takes is a slight failure in that elastic tubing…
people have died on commercial versions of these.. It might be more fun and safer to actually launch stuff.. like microwaves.
I thought there were some camera tricks involved… Nope just crazy fearless people.
Can anyone tell me what kind/size of elastic tubing or bungee was used? maybe where i could find some?
OMG! That looked intense! She could have gotten whiplash – twice!
Anybody knows where to buy a human slingshot?
