WATCH: Red Bull athletes set two world records and become first-ever humans to catapult out of a chimney

Red Bull athletes Dani Roman and Fred Fugen became the first people to be catapulted out of a chimney, setting two Guinness World Records in the process. The feat took place at Europe’s tallest chimney in Trbovlje, Slovenia, and pushed the limits of aerial sport.

They launched from a 60-metre catapult, accelerating from zero to 180kph in 2.15 seconds and reaching 456.7 metres above ground. The records were for greatest height by human catapult, at 100.36 metres, and greatest combined height, at 151.72 metres; Fugen said the unusual launch was something they could not train for.
