why am I thinking “Giant Hamster Ball with human gyroscope in it”, lose the net, and just let em roll
Sorry, but that’s the Sommerset Trebuchet, which is in Britain, not Japan.
The use of which resulted in an Oxford student’s death in 2002.

The japanese title says “イギリス・サマーセット州” which translates to Somerset, England… probably taken from japanese TV.

VERY NICE!
