CHATEAU-THIERRY, FRANCE – MAY 25: A World War I-era cannon stands in a clearing in Belleau Wood, where 100 years before U.S. soldiers, many of them marines, repelled repeated assaults from a German advance only 60 miles from Paris, on May 25, 2018 near Chateau-Thierry, France. Called the Battle of Belleau Wood, the engagement is central to the lore of the U.S. Marines. The U.S. suffered approximately 10,000 casualties at the battle, including nearly 2,000 dead. A ceremony at the nearby Aisne-Marne American cemetery on May 27, on Memorial Day, will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the battle. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

A human cannonball performing at a circus in Chile overshot his safety net and crashed into the crowd. According to one report, he hit a clown who was knocked to the ground, but not hurt.
The cannonball did guy survive, but was busted up pretty badly with a fractured chin and knees. The guy who operated the cannon took the blame for firing him into the air with too much pressure.
