Acrobatic Artist Bastien Dausse's Incredible Low-Gravity Invention
French acrobatic artist Bastien Dausse's work is "centered on (im)balance and the desire to play with gravity." To that end, Dausse co-founded a troupe, Compagnie Barks, whose performances are centered around gravity and the subversion of it. For their Moon performance, they use this impressive anti-gravity device he invented:
The object is calibrated to simulate lunar gravity, which is 1/6th the level of Earth's.
In the video below, you can see how he clicks into it. It's impressively low-tech.

There are tons of entertaining performances using this device, and you can see them here or here.

Why does Colin Furze need to be so big then?
I could see this being popular at amusement parks or fairs as a cool low tech "Moon Walk Simulator"; a lot simpler to set up and work with than cables and pulleys though more dependent on accurate participant weighing for best use. Also I wonder if the disc could be made slightly concave to keep the rocker more secure in placement.
