Woudn't having a spring under it be more efficient than a weird bent strap? I can't imagine it would launch the baby too far.
Weird bent strap is called a "leaf spring."
Ah, thanks for the knowledge! Is it stronger than a twisty spring?
Eh they make em of all varying sizes and strengths, just kind of a "use the right one for the job" situation I think.
Ah yes, you can choose to throw the baby into dad's arms or out of the window.
Well I meant more like "eject a spent shell casing" or "suspension in your whole ass car," but yeah lol.
They didn't have such advanced spring technology back then.
It's still inferior to the medieval baby trebuchet.
Yeah but the baby trebuchet is how we got all this stork nonsense, we can’t go back to random babies dropping from the clouds.
random babies dropping from clouds is no way to form a government!
