Of slingshots, ricochets, and heads


Joerg Sprave's so-called 'Slingshot Channel' on YouTube has been the repository for videos of some weird and wonderful experiments with slingshots and catapults of all shapes and sizes. The man's a visionary (and sometimes zany) inventor.

During one of his recent experiments, he learned the hard way that ricochets aren't confined to bullets alone. The action begins at about the 57-second mark.  A warning to the squeamish: there's a lot of blood involved.





Oops . . .
