1. Good gosh!
Great shot. Tell me though, is that a "looking up" shot or "looking down"?

I also LOVE that ride being part of the picture. Just excellent.

And, uh, wonder what type of person would actually do this?

2. Gasping in awe . . .
at the shot in addition to the person being (ahem) "shot".

You never cease to surprise!

6. Fantastic!
I would buy a poster! It is SOOOOO cool!

He looks so nonchalant........like he is inspecting the rides or something.

I love this one! You should get a prize from us.

7. That's a wonderful shot.
I wish that I had taken it.

I bet that live insurance is impossible to get with his job.

11. Reminds me
Once I saw a guy parachute off a building at an event in Memphis. It was ridiculous. I felt a little weird gawking. It went fine, and it was exciting. A couple of months later he was gone, after doing the same thing off a cliff in Europe.

There's a fine line somewhere here.....

Still, people being shot out of cannons is a really old stunt, tried and true (????), perhaps, maybe?

10. Until I get a little background on what and how this is,
I'm not going to join the crowd who is gaga over this shot. I'm not that bright, I do not know what is happening and why, and who would want to do such a thing.
Until a little explanation comes my way I'm going to assume TrustyElf got a hold of this in Photoshop.

( I think I might be kidding!)
