Chris Douggs McDougall and Jimmy Pouchert bring you the human catapult. Along with help from Go Fast Energy and Skydive Dubai, these two world-renowned BASE jumpers got to make the jump off a lifetime: being catapulted over 300 feet into the air among the skyline of Dubai. As Jimmy and Chris go from 0-200kph in one second, they take on over 6G's.

Stay tuned for more footage from the jump, including the full interview by Douggs and Jimmy.

My only worry is that the guy will black out due to the strain. 6Gs isn't a joke

They reach an acceleration of almost 6G, isn't it quite dangerous? I mean, they could pass out, or not?

They used counterweights (so you can expect pretty much constant g ratio experienced) and appropriate ratio pulleys to achieve this high velocity.
