Islander Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I sure hope it was fake. Even a very slight error could have been fatal. A few years ago, some folks from an extreme sports club called the Oxford Stunt Factory in England built a trebuchet and were using it to fling each other into a net some distance away. It was lots of fun until someone missed the net. That was the end of him. more info: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/archive/index.php/t-1074712.html The people commenting there seem to have more sense than the club members.

colterphoto1 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 fake, too many variables for that to ever work. friction, body area in contact with slide, amount and placement of water, wind during the downhill and airborne portions....

BigStewMan Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 it has to be real--i've watched that clip several times and he makes it every time. don't laugh, when my grandmother came to the usa from the island of flores (one of the azore islands), she was watching a soap opera with my aunt. Partway through the episode, my grandmother says "can't you call that woman on the telephone and tell her what her husband is doing?" my aunt missed the rest of the show because she had to explain that she wasn't watching people's real lives.

Jay481985 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Come on guys simple physics. You cannot obtain more force than what you put in. Seeing its just gravity that is used, no way in hell can that be real judging that the ramp and drop is no why in hell enough force to propel that person that far.
