We are doing "Running in the Red" this fall. The script has a group of people throwing someone in the air and they appear in the set window. The set window is 4' off the deck, but in the story it is a second story window. Their feet must reach a hight of 5' off the ground vertical then they must land as a belly flop. This is all happening in a 5' wide hallway back stage between the set wall and the masking flat.
My immediate answer is a teeter totter, but the end has to be big enough for a horizontal landing. I have thought of putting a mattress on a 4x8 platform and throwing that in the air with pneumatic actuators, but our budget is around $300-$500 for this stunt.
The window is 5' tall and 6' wide so there is not much room for vertical cables. And on top of everything the person is around 200 lbs.
