Anyone who’s ever stepped on a piece of Lego with bare feet knows that any toy has the potential to be dangerous. But leave it to slingshot-master Joerg Sprave to create an elastic-powered crossbow that turns die-cast toy cars into terrifying projectiles.
If you thought your Hot Wheels cars barreling down those plastic tracks were fast, the toy cars come blasting out of this slingshot’s barrel at well over 112 miles per hour. That’s faster than the speed limit on any road in the United States, and it seems even more dangerous when you consider these tiny cars don’t have air bags or even functional seatbelts.
