Human Cannonball, Farthest Distance - GWR Video of the Week 31st August 2011
Loading...
Uploaded by GuinnessWorldRecords on Aug 31, 2011
The farthest distance for a human fired from a cannon is 59.05 m (193 ft 8.8 in) by David Marvin Jr (USA) on the set of Lo Show Dei Record, in Milan, Italy, on 10 March 2011.
David Marvin was launched by a 8 m (26 ft 2.95 in) long cannon. It was estimated that David Marvin Jr travelled at a speed of 120 km/h (74.56 mph), reaching a max altitude of 23 m (75 ft 5.51 in) from the ground. Several members of David's family are human cannonballs and perform stunts worldwide. The pneumatic cannon mechanism is a trade secret that belongs to the family. David landed on a 10 x 20 m (33 x 66 ft) large net suspended with poles at 6 m (20 ft) from the ground. The distance was measured from the hole of the cannon to the furthest point reached on the net.
