Good with physics?

all you have to do is design a chamber that you can throw someone in, and make up for the weight change in your calculations.
oh.. and make the chamber indestructable, with a lot of padding for that sudden stop. whiplash might hurt. haha

takes a lot more calculation than that. You have to know at what velocity and what angle to fire the person at. to find this angle you take distance, and the height where you want to be at when you reach tat distance, use the gravitational constant (9.8m/s) to find out how many seconds you have and what vertical velocity you need then find the horizontal velocity you need and make calculations for errors for different sized persons (smallest would have ben 135lbs and heaviest 160lbs) then you have to take into account air friction with horizontal velocity

THEN you have to calulate the force you will need to accelerate the mass to the given velocity at the given angle, taking gravity into account in the upward acceleration and then you have to calulate landing pads.

its physics...not "hey i bet if we throw him in that and use that big rubber band we can get him through the feild goal..... WOOSH!..... oh shit...SMACK...someone call 911"
