Humans Launched From Medieval Trebuchet in Japan
Bless those crazy Japanese and what they do to get on TV. This YouTube clip shows humans getting flung by trebuchet. Looks exciting, if painful. Though I’m sure it would be a great experiment for my physics classes, somehow I don’t think the Health and Safety inspector would let me get away with it.
