If you're one of those freaks who don't think bungee jumping is enough excitement, perhaps being flu
If you're one of those freaks who don't think bungee jumping is enough excitement, perhaps being flung across a valley is more your jam.
The Nevis Catapult hurls willing participants 150 metres (164 yards) across the Nevis Valley near Queenstown, New Zealand, which you might know for its fair share of extreme sports.

While these are impressive numbers, the video of the whole thing speaks for itself.
Henry van Asch, co-founder of AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, revealed the Nevis Catapult on Wednesday after "years of playing around with the idea."
"It’s a pretty unique feeling, surprising even. There’s nothing else quite like it," he added.
The Nevis Catapult was a specially built design, then tested out-of-sight in Christchurch over the last nine months. Testing began with weighted barrels, before moving on to a test dummy phase, and then finally, brave humans.

Oh, and make sure that you won't be chickening out.
