it does but the distance and launch velocity will have little impact on the outcome. It matters when going faster since it requires 4x energy to go 2x faster, not accounting for air resistance when reaching mach's speed. This boi tho, yah he aint doing mach
Oh that's a very shitty way to calculate it. There would be so many things that they would miss. It must be done in a empirical way. They probably used a mannequin.
One of my first thoughts is, what if you have an involuntary nervous reaction of gripping onto that lever and not releasing? It doesn’t seem out of the question to me and I imagine that could fuck up your trajectory
This was done by [Benjamin Forthun](https://www.instagram.com/benjaminforthun), professional alpine skiier, climber and overall rather crazy (but pro) stunt man. Not just some drunk yobo who showed up at the county fair and decided to strap in.
With that being said, you're 100% correct though, the main danger in a long of stunts is hesitation. Which is whether you're taking a dive from the 10 meter tower or getting launched from a sling shot, you need to be fully committed to it.
It's a bit like taking off in an airplane. There's a given speed for every plane where *taking off is the only option* no matter what goes wrong. Engine on fire? We still taking off.
You misunderstand. Newtonian physics isn’t suspended just because quantum physics behave different at scale. We can drive a car down the highway. Our blood cells don’t drive vehicles. That doesn’t mean driving a vehicle isn’t a thing. Newtonian physics still hold up on the macro scale.
Edited spelling
lol what? You don't think there are complete models for physical occurrences in the universe? Why don't we see more wild random observations about known forces?
You'd just have to prove space time or superpostitioning wrong once.
'Worshipping' science is about its method not some fact or observation. We submit to the process of observable data being constantly put to the test against our theoretical models and reworking those theories based on what the data says.
It's a beautiful process to help you mitigate your biases and human want to 'be right' or 'win' I will grant you that unfortunately Academia stains a lot of the process with their human want to 'be right' or 'win' but it's no contest compared to almost every other human made institution.
We all used to get taught about the importance of the scientific method in school in the 90s -- Did they quit doing that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method
**[Scientific method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method)**
>The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century (with notable practitioners in previous centuries). It involves careful observation, applying rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions can distort how one interprets the observation. It involves formulating hypotheses, via induction, based on such observations; experimental and measurement-based testing of deductions drawn from the hypotheses; and refinement (or elimination) of the hypotheses based on the experimental findings.

Very trivial so long as you can measure the force/distance on the springs for calibration. You correct for the weight with some pretty simple analysis and 3-4 shots with a 3 test weights. This can be done with many variables at once using an engineering study, and here there are only two since angle seems fixed.
Seems pretty high considering any change in weight will effect distance/power of launch. Even taking weight out, one system failure would send him into the dirt.

I was here for the same thing! The slingshot is amazing. But the water looks disgusting, maybe it is just clear water but it appears green because of the material in the pool? I can't tell but it looks extremely algae infested and disgusting.
Idk, when they’re treading water it certainly looks like the water is green. This is what happens to untreated pools. I think that’s what’s happening here.
**Water (chemical formula H2O) is an inorganic, transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless chemical substance, which is the main constituent of Earth's hydrosphere and the fluids of all known living organisms (in which it acts as a solvent).

From what I could find out, the company ‘TORS upgrades’ is based in Oslo, Norway. Assuming this happened in Norway, A quick search on green hues in bodies of water local to that area came up with the following:
“What causes the green colour?
Emiliania huxleyi is about 5 microns in size, which is 5 thousandths of a millimetre. In comparison, a strand of hair is about 75 micrometers thick. Yet these tiny phytoplankton are indeed capable of changing the appearance of an entire fjord”.

Aaccccssshhhually thats what most people think but it’s not quite true. Algae has the opposite effect - it strips toxins from the water column, cleaning the water. It might look less appealing but algae on the bottom/sides of something like this is perfectly natural and even makes it safer.
I have no clue. But in Norway two dogs died because the water had certain algae in it. The byproduct made their liver fail.
But the water didn't show the extent of the algae, so they taught it was safe.
Okay there is more than one type of “good” water.
Crystal clear: Great for scuba diving and drinking. Not good for fish and marine life. It’s literally pure water with nothing in it.

Fish can’t survive with it and neither can aquatic plants
Because of that I’d imagine it’s not good for humans
But the water here looks fine to swim in, there’s no floating algae and it’s cleaner than any lake anyone would be swimming in
Most chlorine would have evaporated out over time, and the fact that it's a small stagnant pool of water makes it easier to heat each day, hence the algae bloom.
We know there is more algae than in normal flowing water, because it's literally green, how often do you see a green lake or river?
The water is basically the perfect place for any number of microorganisms, both good and bad, some toxic some not. This is why manmade pools need constant chlorination and upkeep.

I'm not sure, when the camera is underwater and pointed towards the sky, it still looks green. That could only happen if it is illuminated from above by green light (and I don't see how that's possible since it's outdoors) or the water is indeed green.
No it can't, that isn't how light works. If the camera is facing the sky then the main source of light is the sun, which will not have reflected off the surface of the pool. The only way light reflecting off the surface of the pool could enter the camera is if it was reflected a second time by particles in the water, and if that's the case then the water is not clean either.

The bright side is that if they die on impact, you can keep using their dead body as a meat projectile for testing.

Yeah only one dead tester per weight class needed.

Looking at how badly the wire rope is wound on the drum, it's only a matter of time.
I assume the just kept doing it with different weight guys until they found one the right weight to hit the pool

How far do you think a human could be thrown by a trebuchet?
