If he sits there much longer he will qualify for the Award.     :eek

Good thing he had all that hand protection!

The blood on the shirt at the beginning makes one wonder.  The fact it's published with all that set-up makes me a tiny bit suspicious as to whether it was staged.

But he is Cherman...       :grin
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Brilliant   :thumbsup
I was eagerly waiting for the inevitable failure, and expected a broken rubber, but not the fantastic ricochet.

I think it's fake, the colour of the dried blood on the T-Shirt is a bit dodgy, I've seen that colour heaps of times ..... At Road Crash Rescue Comps .... It's the colour of the fake blood the moulage make up artist use.

And the bleed on the head doesn't look right either.

But then who am I to judge.......

I would have to hope that this is fake, 'cause if it isn't and the bloke got hit in the head with a steel ball that hard and heavy I REALLY feel sorry for him!!! I Hope he survived OK!!!

As fake as it gets, well done though.  Just google 'fake safe sling shot' or 'safe sling shot hoax'
