Watch this amazing man bring fiction into reality with his homemade grappling hook inspired by video games and movies.
James McConnell, from Cape Town, South Africa, used his knowledge and experience of engineering to construct a light aluminium chassis to house the motor from an electric skateboard.
The amazing mechanism was all controlled by the thumb, with the firing hook and reel located in the same area.
After successful tests were carried out in a trampoline and climbing centre, supervised and safe trials proved the concept to be actually usable.
