How would you like to catapult 500-feet in a matter of seconds?

One of New Zealand's newest attractions offers adventure tourist and thrill seekers an opportunity to become a human slingshot.

The Nevis Catapult pushes riders straight out in one direction before dropping nearly 500-feet.

For those brave enough to strap in and experience it, they can expect to reach speeds upwards of 60 miles an hour.
