June 1, 200719 yr It looks real, and probably is right up until they turn the slingshot loose. But the girl's body never changes position. I think a person would flip and turn doing that. Maybe they filmed it with a watermelon in the saddle and then edited in the girl in. Take a closer look. Her whole body flys back against the harness when they let her go and then her head snaps forward at the other end. Her body angle changes in each rebound.
June 1, 200719 yr Oh My....I wonder which one of the characters, woke up one morning, called the other and asked, "Got any bungee chord and where is Sarah". :lol:

You're right. I'm just still not convinced. Without some shoulder straps, it looks like she'd come out of that harness. I dunno, it just looks too wild to be true, I guess.
June 1, 200719 yr I definitely think it's real. I've actually done something pretty similar to that in Panama one spring break and it was crazy, but extremely fun.
June 1, 200719 yr I've actually done something pretty similar to that in Panama...I've watched people do the bungee thing down at PCB. Of course, that was vertical -- this is horizontal.

I did see your point about flipping. It looks like there is only one connection on each side of the harness. So what keeps her from spinning like a yo-yo?

June 1, 200719 yr Wow...I think I'd be the person behind the camera saying this isn't going to work while holding a phone to call 911
