For those of you that have been to the Stampede this year, you may have seen one of the performances by human cannonball David “The Bullet” Smith Jr. Currently the world record holder for the longest human cannon ball shot, Smith Jr. launches himself 46 metres (about 150 feet) across the Saddledome Plaza everyday at 1pm and 5pm. In this picture, Smith Jr. is about 20 metres off of the ground. To put things into perspective, that’s about as high as a 6 storey building!
