If you call your product The Human Slingshot then you’re presenting it as being the greatest thing ever made. What could be better than all the fun of a slingshot but with humans as the ammunition?!

Unfortunately, The Human Slingshot fails to live up to its billing. Rather than being something all kinds of awesome, it’s a giant spandex band that offers a quick way to make friends lose some teeth.

To be fair it probably offers one afternoon of tiring fun. But the novelty factor will likely wear off quickly.

The Human Slingshot sounds like a truly amazing act at a travelling circus. It isn’t. But I’m gullible enough that I’ll probably still buy one.
