AirKick human catapult slam-dunks brave riders
So this is what they do at parties in Germany? Plunk down a sizable sum of Deutschmarks, and you’ve rented yourself an AirKick, a catapult that spews out a jet of water that can sling a brave rider 26 feet into the wild blue. Let’s just hope there’s a foam pit or forgiving body of water nearby.
Never mind that this is a lawsuit waiting to happen — this has got to be an extraordinary thrill ride. Yeah, 26 feet doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re the one riding atop that streaming jet of water, it might seem like you’re on your way to the moon.

How much is sizable, given that the Deutschmark was replaced by the Euro six years ago? I might just have enough of them stashed away in an old mattress ..

Germany uses euros for years, deutschmarks are from the last millenium/century.

While we are at it: the currency was called "Deutsche Mark", not "Deutschmark". That is like calling the Dollar the Americdollar.
