Thanks to the internet, the very normal public has been overwhelmed with extreme sports videos in recent years. So much that it can be a little hard to impress now.

However, this clip of a literal human catapult is legitimately insane. 

The contraption, which was tested out by BASE jumpers Chris Douggs McDougall and Jimmy Pouchert, launches its victims over 300 feet into the Dubai sky. In just one second, they are catapulted from zero to 124 miles-per-hour where they endure 6Gs of force before launching their parachutes and safely returning to earth.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
