So, You Want To Fly?

 

1. Wouldn’t it be easier, not to mention safer, to chopper them in? This seems like a Rube Goldberg solution.

2. They have failed to take into account, that it’s not the launch that kills you, but the sudden stop at the end, that does you in.

   You won’t catch me trying it...LOL

4. This would actually work if they could adjust the thing so that the human cannonball reached the apex of their flight about 5 or 10 feet above the roof of the building in question. The fall would be a short one and cause no injury. It would be much quieter than a helecopter and would also scare the be-jesus out of whatever sniper or bad guy might be holed up on the top of the building. I would love to see this thing work. There are bound to be some special forces type guys that are crazy enough to do this.

5. It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s SWAT-man!!!    SPLATTT!!!!!

   Maybe the landing can be “soft” but I’d bet that there are going to be a lot of compressed spinal column injuries.  I wouldn’t want to be the “volunteer lab rat” to take the first test ride on this device

6. Awww, Bulldog beat me to it - the obvious joke! 

   Anyways, some minor adjustments (bigger seat area) and you have - voila - a Schweinwerfer!
   Just the thing for making the boys at the local mosque feel welcome. 

   This was pointed out to me when I mispronounced Scheinwerfer as I was ordering some car parts.
