How Far Can the World's Biggest Rubber Band Be Shot?

Youtube submitters description: "a typical rubber band is 3.8cm in diameter and can be shot 5m46cm. Therefore, a rubber band 10m in diameter should be able to fly 1437 meters, or almost a mile. Right? Japanese scientists study the issue. Somebody should REALLY show this video to Dave Barry"

Not to spoil the ending, but I kinda of expected it to go this way.

Nice to see someone trying this though. Almost like a Japanese Mythbusters show.

A translated version of this Japanese show used to be on Spike TV under the name "Hey! Spring of Trivia". I loved that show. They took 6 pieces of proven trivia per show from viewers and demonstrated them, and once a show they would take a question from a viewer like "how far could you shoot a giant rubber band?" and test it Mythbusters-style.

Gold Star invocations (comedy) cannot be executed by nibiyabi because nibiyabi is not a Gold Star member - sorry.

The fact of the matter is: The spring to weight ratio of a small rubber band is a lot bigger than that of it's huge cousin there. Despite if they got it tighter or not, you could never approach the same ratio. Also you have the added problem of increased air drag, etc.
