Interesting, though not enough information. My first thought is angular momentum equals high G forces in the lateral.

http://fortune.com/2018/06/15/spinlaunch-space-catapult/ From the link above:
Bloomberg reports, “Rather than using propellants like kerosene and liquid oxygen to ignite a fire under a rocket, SpinLaunch plans to get a rocket spinning in a circle at up to 5,000 miles per hour and then let it go.”
I guess we're not talking about manned spacecraft here.

Why does the image of Wacky Klackers pop into my head when I read this? They say angular momentum, but I bet they are using centrifugal force.
