@washingtonpost: Base jumpers Dani Roman of Spain and Fred Fugen of France were launched in a custom-built human catapult to set two Guinness World Records for vertical mechanical launches. Roman first achieved the greatest height by human catapult, rising 100.36 metres vertically. The two daredevils set the greatest combined height by human catapult at 151.72 metres: Roman reached 75.97 metres and Fugen 75.75 metres. A 60-metre catapult was installed in Slovenia’s Trbovljechimney to pull off the stunt.
