Slingshot rides using elastic bands are one of the most unsafe rides you can ride today. They have had countless accidents over their 45 years of existence. This video is an attempt to gather all these accidents and their details in one place. There are undoubtedly more accidents than the ones covered in this video. It's also likely that by the time you're seeing this more accidents have occurred.

NOTE: When I refer to "right" or "left" I am describing the situation from the riders point of view, not the observer.
