This Human Slingshot Is The Best and Worst Idea Of 2016

In a remarkable display of human courage and possibly stupidity, two men have tested out a pretty terrifying human catapult. Yes, human.

World-renowned BASE jumpers Chris Douggs McDougall and Jimmy Pouchert risk life and limb in the sky above Dubai.

To be precise, they travel from 0-200kmph (125mph) in just a single second as they are fired up and away.

Look at this mad footage.

Would you try it?
