What do you get when you combine two telephone poles, bungee cords, an ATV, and some southern ingenuity? HILLBILLY THRILL RIDES visits the Redneck Slingshot in North Carolina, where bar patrons can grab a beer and then try not to lose it while being launched off a human slingshot. And visit the birthplace of the hillbilly spinning chair, a tractor ride with a bucket seat that spins at 30-40mph. Deep in the bayou, meet a group of innovative risk-takers about to try out a self-built, 50-foot, near-vertical waterslide that shoots riders out into gator infested waters. Will their invention be a splash? Or will it prove to be too dangerous for even the bravest of thrill-seekers?

No admission is required at The Speed Cult Compound in Michigan, where a group of "MacGyvers" built a 40-foot-tall, flame-throwing rollercoaster out of scrap metal and elbow grease. There's not much water in Missouri, so see how one resourceful redneck named Piss Willy flooded a field to create his own jet-sprint boat race course. In Florida, two young thrill-seekers are about to try an incredibly dangerous stunt: leaping off the roof of a house onto an inflatable "blob" made out of duct tape, a leaf blower, and two plastic tarps. "Kids, don't try this at home!"
