Imagine being fired out of a giant chimney at 180kph. That’s exactly what Spanish wingsuit flyer Dani Roman and Frenchman Fred Fugen did in Slovenia, setting two Guinness World Records® titles in the process.

The pair took to the skies above Trbovlje using the world’s largest human catapult, built inside a 360-metre chimney – Europe’s tallest. The specially designed 60-metre system launched them straight upwards, accelerating from 0 to 180kph in just 2.15 seconds. After a brief moment of weightlessness at the top, they began falling back towards the ground before opening their parachutes and landing safely.
