An Oxford University student was killed when he was flung through the air by trebuchet catapult and overshot the landing net. Turns out this is old news, since this happened back in November 2002.
The student was a member of the Oxford Stunt Factory, a "Dangerous Sports" club.
I love doing stupid things too. But I think that I would have launched a pig who weighed about the same as me before I personally crawled into the launching seat.
