PIC FROM CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: The catapult in action) - Two brothers have built a human catapult to fly into a lake – because it’s cheaper than travelling by plane. Johannes Schrieber, 26, and his brother Daniel, 28, built the wooden contraption, which can fire people five metres into the sky and 12 metres away. The brothers raised more than £700 through crowdfunding to buy the materials, with every penny well spent as nobody has died yet! SEE CATERS COPY.
