| Manslaughter charges over catapult death |
| 2003-07-15 |
| Darwin Award finalist Two men have been charged with manslaughter over the death of a student involved in a ’human catapult’ stunt. A Bulgarian teenager was killed last November when he was thrown from a replica medieval catapult. He should have landed in a large safety net during the event at Middlemoor Water Park, Woolavington near Bridgwater, Somerset. "Should" being the key phrase. But he hit the ground before he reached it, sustaining serious injuries, and died later in hospital. The law of gravity is not subject to appeal. |
