The only thing that terrifies me more than heights would be being catapulted into a gorge off of a bridge from great heights.

The Science Channel recently published a video on YouTube of engineer Jason Bell. He created a human catapult in his garage.

Bell tested out his human catapult by launching people into a lake off of a dock. When that proved to be a success, Bell decided to take his do it yourself project one step further.

He began launching people off of a bridge into a deep gorge, hundreds of feet below. Just watching this video gives me goose bumps! Would you ever try something like this? I sure wouldn't.
