Title: Eskimo: Human slingshot
Post by: Ripsnort on January 14, 2007, 09:22:02 AM

Here is a stunt man that set some sort of record 3 days ago for a slingshot, 300 feet into the air, with a parachute. (Your squirrel slingshot reminded me of seeing the story on TV)

The news report is contained in the link below with the video to the right hand side of the story. Incredible. I bet StSanta is crazy enough to do this!

Dammit, Destro, I just posted that same movie on the squirrel thread. Just noticed the dedicated thread now.

I'd have done it in my younger single days.

You never know-  your willingness to do these things may reappear in your

Ze French did this one a few months ago. Everyone might call ze French surrender-monkeys but they're pretty big on the adventure-sport scene.

That clip is very cool though :D. Flawlessly pulled off too.

Thanks for sharing.

Holy crap.  Anyone care to guess what his velocity was when the sling released?
