Adrenaline junkies such as base jumpers and other extreme sporters have been known to go to great lengths just to get that one high. This seems like it would get you pretty high. A catapult anchord between two huge supports with a canvas like pad hooked up to a ton of bungies...launches you from the ground so high that you parachute down! Looks like a great way to get a break from sitting at the compute all day, I gotta get one of these in my back yard.
