It’s no secret that New Zealand has invented more than its fair share of adventure sports and extreme activities. It is the country that gave us bungee jumping after all. Now, the crew at AJ Hackett Bungy have created an all new thrill ride in the form of the Nevis Catapult –– an experience that will accelerate you to up to 3Gs and nearly 100 km/h (60 mph) in just 1.5 seconds. The Catapult just opened a few days back and the video below will give you an idea of what it is all about. Looks crazy to me!
