It's one of the English University 'Extreem Sports' clubs - I think they may have been closed down after they managed to kill one of the participants - there had already been a few serious accidents. Main problem was bouncing out of the net.
There is also an 'American' who has designed a slightly safer version that throws you into a deep pool using an articulated arm - more a lob than a full strength throw.

The movie said Somerset in Pommyland.
It's funny, all the allegedly crazy Japanese TV, and I don't see any of it. :? :? :?
Maybe I should actaully buy a TV huh?
There was one where they strapped someone into a slingshot looking thing, pulled back with a ride on mower and off you went. That looked pretty interesting... :oo: :oo: :oo:
