Two Charged After Human Catapult Death
Jul 15, 7:11 am ET
LONDON (Reuters) - British police charged two men with manslaughter
Tuesday following the death of an Oxford University student who was
flung from a giant catapult. Bulgarian Konstadin Yankov, 19, died last
November when the stunt near the West Country town of Bridgewater went
wrong.
"He had been thrown by a replica medieval catapult and failed to reach
the landing net," said a police spokeswoman.
Yankov was on an outing with the Oxford Stunt Factory, an unofficial
club at Oxford University where he was studying biochemistry. He had
been the sixth person that day to be launched from the "trebuchet"
catapult.
Organizers said at the time Yankov had been properly weighed and that
the machine had been correctly calibrated before he was fired in a
30-yard arc. They did not know what had gone wrong.
