I can't understand a thing they're saying (Japanese TV), but I understand that more so than I understand what they're doing.

It reminds me of the video of the guy shot out of a cannon. A malfunction made him miss the net. He was paralyzed for life.

A word to the wise for all you aspiring jackass wannabees (didn't I just condrdict myself there?), a video record of yourself as a willing participant does not play so well in court.

Those two guys would not have the ability to pull that guy back far enough for that flight distance.
Additionally the trajectory was far too high considerating the nearly horizontal start.

But very clever.
