A giant bouncy ball, hollow, with a door to get in and out. Inside is a chair strapped in with elastic on the corners and a seat belt, of course. Mounted in a launch pad of giant elastic straps, the passenger flings himself high into the air, roughly in the direction of where he wants to go. With a little
luck, they might even get there.
Wasn't sure what catagory to put this in.

With practice, you could even arrange "combination shots", where you could nudge several passengers to their destinations with just one launch off the pad. |
|
|
If your destination is uphill, you'd just
roll back home before you get there. Or
try getting back again from downhill
destinations. You must live in a flat
place (Chicago?) |

I saw this on Guiness book of world recrods, it believe it's called "zoorbing" |
|
|
this would be fantastic if linked to my ginormous swing ball!! <link> |

There's a difference between this and the Zorb - the Zorb isn't designed to be launched. |
|
|
That's why this is cooler. |
|
|
Even though the zorb is neat, I don't think the hole is big enough to squeeze through. |
