There is an early account (1875) of a performer named George Loyal, #with the Yankee Robinson Circus, #who is reported to be the first person to be fired from a cannon.

Human Cannonball (http://www.cannon-mania.com/human-cannon.htm)

Loyal, the Man Meteor....
Is that cool or what?

I have loved this concept since I was a small boy in Charlotte chasing the elephants down Independance Blvd.

Why I did not choose this career, behooves me.
Maybe in the next life.
