I just got this idea from the movie hero of an bow and arrow thing that you swing the bow over your feet except you replace the arrow with a water balloon so I decided to make this. I made it by taking a piece of wood and steam bending it(the old fashion style). Then I drilled two holes on each side o the wood and slipped the hooks of a relatively long bungee cord in them. After which I attached a piece of fabric to the middle of the bungee.
In order to use you sit down lift up your legs and put the wood over them and pull back the bungee cord and place your water balloon on the fabric and use like a slingshot.
It worked quite well for a elastic style water balloon launcher and it shot about 35 feet I don't know but I will get photos and stats in about a week or so.
