The Pegasus Launchpad
Candle (A) burns through rope (B), which is attached taut to the ground by peg (C). Once the rope snaps, slingshot (D) is allowed to snap into place, pulling pegasus (E) along at truly alarming speeds, aided by the friction-reducing scooter (F). Pegasus and scooter are flung up ramp (G) and from there into the sky. Landing pad not included.
