"Haha fat people" probably.
Generally the larger someone is the funnier it is when they are launched in the air.
We're gonna gatekeep shit posting?
Yes
Fair enough. Let's do it.
As a mod, I decree that this post is utter shit and doesn't violate any rules. It can stay.
Ahhh, good ol mod abuse.
Edit: I'm just being silly here, please don't take any of this seriously.
As a mod, hi im kate
Hi Kate!!!
I thought this was c/justguysbeingdudes (or something like that) but I’m not sure it exists here. That was a great sub.
E: it does it exist! Dead but it doesn’t need to stay that way. I’ll cross post: [email protected]
It's a shit shit post?
Is this sarcastic? Because that seems fun to me.
I first thought she was landing in a pile of Lego pieces
That sounds like something Jackass would do.

Back when I was in Boy Scouts we'd see these giant inflated turds on a lake, lovingly called "The Blob". It was the same basic concept as this, but the goal was a more vertical trajectory, and the jump onto the blob was much higher (at least to my memory it was).
One time my dad and I decided to do The Blob, and he wanted to launch me. Guest how high a 12-year old skinny kid goes when his ~250-lbs dad jumps?
After about a week I hit the murky lake water with the side of my face and swore off that cursed slug forever.
I still think it's a really cool concept and a great lesson on physics, even for onlookers, but you won't catch me on one of those again. At least the horizontal one in the gif is mostly contained in walls, so the trajectory is controlled. The lake one is more or less an oblong balloon sitting on the water's surface, and the lifeguards tell the projectile generally where to lie.
Edit: here's a random pic I found 
A week in the air does things to people
We had one at camp too! It was fun and I don't remember any injuries. That was the early '90s, though, child safety was more 'eh'.
I think when I was in, I only ever saw those maybe at one summer camp. I would have totally done it, but I'd drown because I am terrible at swimming.
Where can i do this?
I had fun once. It was awful.
She ded.
She drowned
I love to have fun
OH LAWD SHE COMIN!
You ain't catching me do that, because if those balls are anything like foam blocks, it's too much of a hassle to escape them.
I'd do her.
Where did the kid who pushed her go? It looks like he just disappeared...
He's at the top with the other two launching her, there's a cut in the video.
