Human cannonball dies in Kent stunt show

[Etimos]

I hate to say anything bad when something like this happens, and of course all those involved have my sympathies, but people need to remember that this is the reality of stunt shows. It's "amazing" specifically because what they're doing is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Our age of safety nets and double-checks has made us too secure, I think, and this should serve as a reminder to everyone that no matter how 'routine' it may seem, these stunts are not to be taken lightly.
