New Zealand just created the world’s largest human catapult, and it’s absolutely insane
You've been zip-lining before, maybe you’ve been bungee jumping or even
skydiving. But even the most seasoned thrill-seekers haven’t tackled the
newest, most adrenaline-pumping experience to come out of New Zealand. AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand just announced the launch of the world’s largest, most extreme human catapult in the world: the Nevis Catapult.
Located
in the remote Nevis Valley below the Southern Alps near Queenstown, NZ,
the Nevis Catapult is designed for optimal height, speed, and flight.
The high-tech winch system allows the catapult to propel riders 492 feet
across the Nevis Valley floor, experiencing up to 3Gs of force and
going from zero to nearly 62 miles per hour in just 1.5 seconds. Riders
can expect to be launched across the ravine before dropping vertically
and recoiling back upwards at great speed. From initial release to final
recovery, the full experience ranges from three to four minutes.
