An unusual spectacle, challenging the limits of speed and gravity, has been carried out in Slovenia, where two athletes of extreme sports have been catalyzing into the air from the top of Europe’s highest industrial chimney.
Spanish Dani Román and Frenchman Fred Fugen carried out this challenge on November 5th in the town of Trbovlje, using a special catapulst system built within the industrial chimney, which is 360m high.
The cat, measuring 60 feet [60 m], accelerated athletes from zero to 180 miles [180 km] per hour in just 2.15 seconds, placing them vertically in the air.
After the release, the two athletes experienced for a few moments the feeling of lack of weight before they went into a free decline and opened their parachutes to safely sit, reports news Bombu.
Beyond the physical spectacle and challenge, this event also marked the setting of two new Guinness records.
During the individual test, Danny Román managed to rise to a height of 100.36 feet [100,36 m] above the starting point, setting the world record for greater altitude by a person through a human Catholic.
Meanwhile, at the joint launch, Rome and Fugen reached a combined height of 151m above their respective starting points, securing the second world record.
The project was carried out by the Slovenian team Davids Square, who worked for two and a half years on the construction of this special system equipped with a giant spring mechanism.
