Sonovabitch !! However, that slingshot might be promising as an antenna launcher.

Oh shit! I didn't see THAT coming!
(neither did he! )

What a great g/f (wife w/e) keeps filming. "See! See! what happened LAST time you played with something dangerous!, why don't you do something safe! Like ham radio!".

Well it really was a safe slingshot in practice. He demonstrated its safety properties. The injury is the fault of the operator and his decision to NOT have a proper catch behind the target. The ball just did what physics makes ot do. Operator error, not mechanical fault.

12V is for wimps, real radios can kill you.
