Mechanical engineer Jason Bell is responsible for making this extreme sport a hit and a new challenge for everyone in love with adrenaline rushes. He found motivation in the fact that many have tried to construct something like this, but have ended in quite a disaster. The feeling when being launched from thishuman catapult is simply unexplainable. However, it is something that you will without a doubt remember for the rest of your life.
Although this is an amazing machine, Jason Bell is still dissatisfied with what he has come up with. His plans and ambitions are leading him to continue improving the machine and making it even more extreme. If you ever find yourself in this position, just remember that when tryouts were done for this project, even some of the most experienced BASE jumpers felt nervous.
The human catapult project became immensely popular after they launched 24 BASE jumpers over the 876 feet (267 meters) tall New River Gorge Bridge.
