In the past, I have brought you examples of what occurs in the area of the Venn diagram where technical aptitude, too much free time, and a total disregard for personal safety overlap.

Unlike a regular bungee jump, there’s really no limit to the g-force attainable by this lash-up. Want to rip your girlfriend/wife/sister into several chunks? Just hook the ripcord onto something a little heavier than a quad (like an F-150) and keep pulling until those wrist-thick bungee cords are banjo-string tight. Take it from someone with a lot of experience launching water balloons - once you pass the structural threshold of whatever you’re launching, instead of acceleration, you mostly get a fine mist…
