Ildebrando Zacchini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ildebrando Zacchini (1868 - July 17, 1948, Tampa, Florida) was the inventor of the popular human cannonball act. Instead of explosives, Zacchini's human-firing cannon used compressed air, and he first tested it on his son Hugo Zacchini. He, along with others in his family are part of the Ringling Brothers Hall of Fame.
