一般跳傘是從飛機或高樓往下跳，這次兩位好手卻是從煙囪裡被「彈」上天。紅牛（Red Bull）報導，西班牙定點跳傘（BASE jump）好手丹尼・羅曼（Dani Román）和法國跳傘名將弗雷德・菲讓（Fred Fugen），11 月 5 日在斯洛維尼亞（Slovenia）小鎮特爾博夫列（Trbovlje）完成了一場前所未見的挑戰。
EN Skydivers usually jump from planes or tall buildings, but this time two experts were shot into the sky from inside a chimney. Red Bull reported that Spanish BASE jumper Dani Román and famous French skydiver Fred Fugen completed a never-before-seen challenge on November 5 in Trbovlje, a small town in Slovenia.

他們挑戰的舞台，是特爾博夫列一座舊發電廠的煙囪，高 360 公尺，是全歐洲最高的煙囪，比巴黎鐵塔還高。斯洛維尼亞特技工程團隊 DD Squad 在煙囪裡蓋了一座長 60 公尺、號稱世界最大的人體彈射器，裝了重達 2 噸的多組彈簧，能在 2.15 秒內把人從靜止加速到時速 180 公里。
EN Their stage was the chimney of an old power plant in Trbovlje. At 360 meters, it is the tallest chimney in Europe, even taller than the Eiffel Tower. The Slovenian stunt engineering team DD Squad built a 60-meter human catapult inside it, said to be the largest in the world. Its springs weigh two tons and can take a person from standing still to 180 kilometers per hour in 2.15 seconds.

衝出煙囪 100 公尺，兩人合計 151 公尺
第一項紀錄由羅曼拿下：他離開彈射艙後一路往上衝了 100.36 公尺，創下「人體彈射最高高度」的金氏世界紀錄（Guinness World Records）。接著兩人一起同時發射，羅曼上升 75.97 公尺、菲讓上升 75.75 公尺，合計 151.72 公尺，又拿下「人體彈射合計最高高度」紀錄。最高點離地面 456.7 公尺，之後兩人往下墜落，再打開降落傘安全落地。
EN The first record went to Román. After leaving the launch capsule, he flew 100.36 meters up and set the Guinness World Records title for the highest human catapult. Then the two launched together. Román rose 75.97 meters and Fugen rose 75.75 meters, a total of 151.72 meters, which won the record for the highest combined human catapult. Their highest point was 456.7 meters above the ground. Then they fell and opened their parachutes to land safely.

35 歲的羅曼形容那種感覺：「你站在彈射艙裡等倒數，剩 5 秒的時候深吸一口氣、全身繃緊。然後就是『砰！』你一直往上、往上，突然覺得周圍的一切都變成慢動作，接著才開始往下加速。真的很不真實，也超好玩。」
EN Román, 35, described the feeling: “You stand in the capsule waiting for the countdown. With five seconds left, you take a deep breath and tense your whole body. Then, boom! You go up and up, and suddenly everything feels like slow motion before you start speeding down. It was really unreal and so much fun.”

花了兩年半準備，連老手都說「很瘋狂」
這個計畫從構想到完成花了兩年半，彈射器全力運作時，選手要承受最高 4.2G 的力量。47 歲的菲讓已經跳過無數次傘，他還是說：「這裡發生的事情真的很瘋狂。用這種規模的彈射器，我們是在挑戰很未知的東西，只能靠所有的經驗去應付，這是沒辦法事先練習的，但我們完全信任 DD Squad。」
EN The project took two and a half years from idea to finish. At full power, the catapult puts up to 4.2 G of force on the riders. Fugen, 47, has jumped countless times, but he still said, “What is happening here is really crazy. With a catapult this big, we are facing something very unknown. We can only use all our experience. You cannot practice this beforehand, but we fully trust DD Squad.”

兩人加起來已經完成超過 3 萬 2 千次跳傘，但被煙囪「發射」出去還是頭一遭。DD Squad 執行長加斯佩爾・諾瓦克（Gašper Novak）說，團隊花了兩個月在煙囪裡施工，每週工作 6 天、每天約 14 小時，還曾在煙囪頂端睡了一晚，「工程上的挑戰不是製造最大的力量，而是找到剛好的力量，同時盡量控制發射過程，確保安全。」當然，這是專業團隊在嚴密安全規劃下完成的極限挑戰，一般人看看影片過過癮就好，千萬別自己模仿。
EN Together, the two have made more than 32,000 jumps, but this was their first time being launched from a chimney. DD Squad CEO Gašper Novak said the team spent two months building inside the chimney, working six days a week for about 14 hours a day. They even slept one night at the top. “The engineering challenge was not making the biggest force, but finding the right force and controlling the launch as much as possible to keep it safe.” Of course, this was an extreme challenge done by professionals with careful safety planning. Please just enjoy the video and never try it yourself.
