His expression as he lifts out of the chair is priceless!
From Flying Frenchies (warning: auto-sound) comes this video of a base jumper being launched off a cliff with something that looks like a huge slingshot. Whee!
If I read this page correctly, this video shows Tancrède Melet, an adventurer with Skyliners. This team enjoys performing stunts such as climbing mountains, walking on tightropes, and flying.

I have to assume that base jumping is extremely boring if it has to be spiced it up with this kind of "thrilling" extra-entertainment.
