This experiment spectacularly showed how relative speed works.

        They’d just be flung out by the perceived centripetal force (actually the outward swing of the backend of the vehicle’s flatbed there).

        Although the more I think about it, maybe not? As long as the catapult sends the cargo/“human” at the same speed as the very tip of the end of the flatbed, maybe it would be fine?

        Disclaimer: imagining this with a fever isn’t helping.
