The Human Slingshot

A step down from the original bungee jump, the human slingshot is an easy option which still packs an amazing adrenalin punch. A mad group of friends have designed a slingshot in their back garden to attract thrill seekers eager to test their nerve. The idea of the slingshot is to strap yourself into the seat and relaxing, leaving the others to do the rest.

The friends then draw back the slingshot in the powerful quad bike before letting rip and releasing the cord. There is an air of anxiety before release, which develops into screams of terror and relief as the slingshot recoils launching the nominated participant backwards and forwards like a yoyo. All this before the cord returns to its initial position and the thrill seeker can leave their seat and calm themselves down.
