Launcher Trampoline

Launch yourself high in the air w/out the aid of your friends

Anyone who has used a trampoline is probably aware of the technique "double-bouncing", where one person jumps, and stretches the fabric down, and the other person comes down, and gets launched. This is really fun, the more people launching you, the better. I propose a trampoline with a giant crank attached to the trampoline at multiple points. You could set how hard it lets you go. One problem with this is that trampolines are already a huge liability. But still, think of the fun.

       I had a similar idea a month or so ago ( did't post it, thought it was not very origanal ) I called it an "elevator". Basicaly, it was a giant sling shot with a platform instead of a pouch. You would get on and pull the lever...

       Thing is with all the stuff underneath it wouldn't be a comfortable landing.

       [Zouw] created their account on November 15 2003, posted this idea, and never posted on the 'bakery again.

       Well, the HB is supposed to be a "database of poorly thought-out ideas", and not (primarily) a place for us to hang out.   

       So, inserting one idea into that database, and then vanishing into the night, would be a perfectly valid interaction.   

       Maybe [Zouw] just hasn't come down yet. BOINNNNNNNG! [+]

       Lately I've been wondering what the first ten or so ideas posted to the 'bakery were, and how to determine that.
