[...] If you thought Bungee Jumping was scary, try this sport out for a spin where you’re catapulted through the air into a net in his video. [...]

That’s insane! Though if I wasn’t paranoid of not landing in the net, I think that would be fun

I think this is in England…there certainly is one around here because someone died on it a few years ago when they bounced out of the safety net.

The Japanese commentary says it’s in Somerset, in England.

Yep, it was in England. It is now illegal due to a couple of fatal accidents:
