Remember the kidapult from Richie Rich? German special events company, Jochen Schweizer, has a similar air and water-powered version available for rent.  For the right amount of cash, we’re sure you could convince them to sell you one for your own yard.

Dubbed the AirKick, this human catapult launches individuals over 26 feet in the air into a swimming pool or foam pit. Describing the AirKick’s functionality, Jochen Schweizer explains, “it propels participants through the air in a pre-calculated parabolic trajectory using a special combination of air pressure and water recoil technology. The participant sits in a specially constructed seat at the back end of the catapult arm and 3,2,1…Liftoff.  He sets the device in motion himself by pushing a button. Approximately 60 Liters of water are then forced through a rocket nozzle under the seat. This pressurized water (8 to 10 bar of air pressure) propels the participant 8 meters though the air for a cool and refreshing splash down in a swimming pool.”

The AirKick is without a doubt one of the most baller toys you could potentially hook up for your pool.  If you get your hands on one, we want to know.
