Cannonball Landing Site

As the countdown begins, David Smith, Jr. - THE BULLET, dons his safety helmet, slides down the slender barrel of his cannon positioning himself to become a human projectile. The crowd joins in the countdown and the announcer asks the audience to cover their ears as protection from the noise of the blast. Three! Two! One! FIRE! David Smith, Jr. - THE BULLET - blasts into the air, flies an average distance of 160 feet and a height of 60-70 feet and lands in his pre-positioned safety net. This is a death-defying feat guaranteed to send shivers down your spine!
