A combined human catapult and safety landing apparatus which is a
pneumatically controlled human catapult for launching a person in a
repeatable flight path in conjunction with a cooperating safety landing
apparatus that eliminates the need for less safe water, net or mat
landings. An air cylinder that is supplied with a predetermined quantity
of gas based upon the passenger's weight is the controllable energy means
for launching a passenger a predetermined distance. Having the throw
distance controllable allows a safe, repeatable landing within the
parameters of the safety landing apparatus. Within the landing apparatus
area, the passenger is seated in the catapult that is positioned between
an elongate pair of post elevated wires encircled by slidable rings. In
flight, the rings which are tethered to the passenger, slide along the
wires being pulled by the passenger which, at the same time, provides a
controlled flight path and landing similar to sport skydiving but at much
lower speeds and heights.
