The Nevis Valley in New Zealand is now home to the world’s largest catapult. But it doesn’t launch rocks. It launches people!

The extreme thrill ride shoots a person across a canyon at a whopping 62 miles per hour! 

A rider wears a harness attached to a long bungee cord. When the catapult is released, it shoots the rider over the valley.

AJ Hackett came up with the idea when he was a kid. “I think people are going to get a pretty big kick out of it,” he says.
