The angles are important too. The poles are pretty close together. I can picture hitting one. Or the ground.

They don't look close together to me. Nor does it appear that the rider could easily reach the ground.

this appears to be the real original source.

The elastic cords, stretched to extremely high tension, aimed at that guy's crotch.
I suspect that is one of the guy's girl-friend who got talked into it.

I wonder how they're attached... Is it one single line from pole top to pole top? Or is it a pair of lines from pole top to harness and pole top to harness? I would think that the second layout would be stronger. I can't imagine the strain at the apex of the elastic at the harness.

I am kind of curious about how bungee jumper cords are terminated/affixed. I'll go look that up.

The key is the symmetry of the launch. If you start a bit off to one side...

Please see the GIF at http://cheezburger.com/6674553856

Whaaaaa?


Okay, bobcat and fawn are natural foes, that I get.

That they fight, I get.

WhyTF are they fighting in someone's living room?

WhyTF are they using a laundry basket in combat?

And ... bobcat? More like BobPUSSY!

I'm not sure that's a fawn. It may be some non-whitetail deer with a small body. Most deer fawns have spots. Also the deer in the .gif has a back/body shape that suggests something other than your typical whitetail.

Cool though.
