In the Slovenian city of Trbovlje, a 360-meter-high industrial chimney became the starting point for an extreme sports challenge. Spaniard Dani Román and Frenchman Fred Fugen launched themselves into the air on November 5 from its summit, using a specially designed catapult system built inside Europe’s tallest industrial chimney.
The 60-meter-long catapult accelerated the athletes from zero to 180 kilometers per hour in just 2.15 seconds, propelling them vertically into the sky.

Immediately after the launch, they experienced weightlessness for a few moments. They then entered free fall and opened their parachutes to land safely, according to News Bomb.
The challenge ended with two new Guinness records. In the solo attempt, Dani Román rose 100.36 meters above the launch point, the greatest height ever reached by a person using a human catapult.
The second record was set during the joint launch: Román and Fugen together reached a height of 151 meters above their respective launch points.
The project was undertaken by the Slovenian team Dunking Devils Squad. Building the specially designed system, equipped with a giant spring mechanism, took two and a half years.
