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

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.
