That looks like England for 1 and 2, they not Japanese...caurcasian

Yeah - I think the question should be: 'Is there anything the Japanese won't do to westerners?'

My only question is just simply, Why?

Well the way he was padded up, im sure he knew it could have gone very very wrong......

We should put Anna's rotting corpse on one of those & smash it into a wall. Then shit & piss on it. Thats all.

Those crazy Japs...

I'd love to see that harness thingy not release and slam someone to the ground at about 100 miles an hour. That would make for great video

great, give SOUTHWEST AIRLINES ideas why dont you!

I was thinking the same thing even before I read yours Gil69.

If that sling releases the human cargo a split second too early or too late, they'd miss that net. That's a lot of faith they're putting into that contraption.

it's a report on a japanese tv show about a ride available in england. you're right though they do show all kinds of stuff of japanese tv, they just love the 'variety' type show. problem is though u have to watch thru hours of boring rehashed crap on loads of different channels to find a few interesting minutes.

hey that`s a novel way for dudes to cross the border illegally If you survive you stay!

That exact same machine did go terribly wrong for one chick, right after they built it. I'm sure Scott has the video archived somewhere, but for those of you who haven't seen it, the girl hit the net, but she bounced almost as high as it had slung her and she missed the net on the rebound. she broke some ribs i think but it could have been much worse.

actually come to think of it that trebuchet is kinda low-powered... the real deals launch huge balls of stone a good couple hundred metres.

LOL!!! @ Cov!!

WTH is Props? Here's one for ya'.... Wheeee!!

I saw a similar vid (though, not with this particular contraption) where some chick was flown completely OVER the net and landed smack on the ground.

First of all, I am half Japanese. Second, if you read the beginning it says England at the top of the screen.... It s stupid English people that did that... nothing against english people of course, jus those who do such things... lol

look at post 1

Japan are mind exploring people. In the west we look up to the wrong people.

Is this the Oxford (England) trebuchet that killed a man?
