The
CannonLady was really interesting. Her father invented the human
cannon and he still holds the Guinness Book of Records for the
longest cannon blast. She started the show. After the national
anthem, the lights went down and she came out. She climbed into
the cannon and was launched with the loudest sound of the night.
She flew through the air and landed in a net on the other side
of the arena. It was pretty dramatic. Johanna sent us the photo
below of her getting shot out of the cannon at the Blue Cross
Arena. I went to Cannonlady.com
but it was sort of outdated.
This
whole event is a lot like the circus. The CannonLady is married
to Radical Rob, who would jump over a pile of wrecked cars that
were towed in for the night from Northside Salvage in East Rochester.
They were on the Jay Leno show. The announcer interviewed Rad
Rod after his jump and he said. "Some people smoke stuff
to get high and some people drink stuff to get high but I get
high doin' this." Johanna got this shot of Radical Rob jumping
over rhe Monster trucks.
