This week, he&rsquo;s asked us to share some of our own experiences with some of the individuals who helped make that week so spectacular. I was fortunate enough that I got to talk with Scott Leva, the inventor of a safer air ram, which allows stunt performers to launch themselves high into the air with very little risk of injury.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dodgecollege\/6681802835\/in\/set-72157628831257905\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/ftv.chapman.edu\/images\/uploads\/blogs\/IMG_2676b.JPG\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<br \/>\n\tFor those of you having a difficult time trying to imagine what an air ram looks like, try to imagine a black, bathroom scale welded to a pair of pneumatic pistons, with hoses leading to a box full of equipment that might just as well have come off the Shuttle Endeavor. To activate the device, a stunt performer simply steps onto the scale-like apparatus and it automatically calculates their weight before launching them a predetermined distance into the air:<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dodgecollege\/6681802981\/in\/set-72157628831257905\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/ftv.chapman.edu\/images\/uploads\/blogs\/IMG_2684.JPG\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\t&ldquo;Most air rams have you riding on 1,800-1,900 pounds of air,&rdquo; <strong>says Leva<\/strong>, &ldquo;and if you&rsquo;re not accurate on them, they will hand you your legs.
