Extreme Sports" mania! 2 parachutists turned into human cannonballs traveling at 180 kilometers per hour, setting 2 Guinness World Records

Extreme skydivers Dani Roman and Fred Fugen recently completed a crazy feat in Slovenia that surpassed the limits of human flight. They climbed into a giant human catapult installed inside the tallest chimney in Europe, transformed into "human cannonballs" and took off at high speed. It only took 2.15 seconds to reach a speed of 180 kilometers per hour from a complete standstill, and withstand a gravity acceleration load of up to 4.2G. This extreme challenge shocked the world. In the end, Roman's personal ejection height of 100.36 meters and the two people's synchronized ejection result of 151.72 meters were achieved in one fell swoop. The "highest human ejection height" and "the highest combined height of two people ejection" were certified by the Guinness World Records.

This challenge was jointly completed by Spanish and French Red Bull extreme skydivers Romain and Fulgen. The two lifted off from the top of a 360-meter-high chimney through a giant catapult at high speed. During the process, they withstood an acceleration load of up to 4.2G, and then turned into a free fall. Finally, they successfully opened their parachutes and landed safely. Among them, Roman was the first to set the world record for the "highest human ejection height" with a vertical ejection height of 100.36 meters. Then the two again challenged the simultaneous double ejection, reaching 75.97 meters and 75.75 meters respectively. With a total score of 151.72 meters, they set another world record for the "highest combined height of a double ejection", setting two Guinness World Records in one fell swoop.

Recalling the moment of ejection, Roman said excitedly: "When there are five seconds left, you will take a deep breath, tense up your whole body, and then with a sound of 'Bang!', your whole body will continue to rush upwards. Suddenly everything around you seems to turn into slow motion, and then start to accelerate downwards. It is really incredible!" Fugen shared: "This challenge is really crazy! Facing such a huge ejection device, we are exploring unknown areas. We must rely on the accumulated flight experience in the past to cope with this unique and extreme challenge."

This 60-meter-high human catapult was specially built for the challenge by the Slovenian stunt and engineering team DD Squad. It uses a multiple spring system weighing two tons. The entire project took two and a half years to develop, and gradually increased the scale from a small ejection test. It finally took about two months to complete the installation of the device in the chimney. Gašper Novak, CEO of DD Squad, said that the biggest challenge of the project is not only to create a powerful ejection force, but also to ensure the controllability and safety of the launch process. In addition, Prada Linea Rossa also provided professional functional clothing and equipment for the two athletes to help complete this extreme challenge that breaks the imagination of human flight.
