A man has sadly died after being fired from a human cannonball at a show in Kent, England. What killed him was the safety net designed to catch him failing.
Many people may have learned about the human cannonball after one was featured on a recent episode of Glee. Coach Sylvester wanted to shoot Brittany from one to close her cheerleading show. And then this happens.
The fact is that even everyday life contains numerous dangers. When we cross a road, drive, cook food, pour a kettle of boiling water, in the workplace; all of these normal events have dangers attached.
But being fired from a cannonball and landing on a thin net a few hundred meters away is obviously a lot more dangerous, regardless of the health and safety measures put in place to ensure no one is harmed.
