With this, you're launched forward ... then instantly backwards. Can this cause a concussion without the severe blow?
I'm thinking that having your organs go from 0 to X mph, to a dead stop, and in the opposite direction, can't be good.
nah...the change in speed isn't instantaneous. It's elastic, so it slows down, stops, then speeds up in the opposite direction. It's not like hitting a wall or anything.
I'm willing to bet F1 drivers or fighter pilots endure many more G's than someone in that sling.
Looks like fun.
