    Hmmm, looks like they made a calculation mistake, or two. If I'm not mistaken, their human cannonball overshot the net by about a hundred meters, or so. He must've had a great view as he flew over it however.

    Dam straight! The guy that was launched had a helmet on; the different guy that landed did not have a helmet!

    But I love how they had safety in mind when they padded the posts.

    The sling slot riders are expendable, just keep launching them until 1 survives then show that clip on the news.
