This looks like fun...

In the immortal words of my work colleague, Barry, "what could possibly go wrong?"

And, just to bring it down a notch: http://youtu.be/WOAJydWtEfo (this one looks better on Vimeo in HD, but, anyway).

I saw online movie footage of another rig about 5 or so years ago. Probably similar size (its hard to tell if you don't know the lenses used to film).

Definitely looks like fun!

As they say... it all looks like fun till someone gets hurt... then its hilarious!

What would Workcover say?

Al.

How cool is that.

It looks like something that Wile E Coyote would have designed to catch the road runner.
