https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqApQEC51bE Frank "Cannonball" Richards (February 20,1887–February 7, 1969) was a carnival and vaudeville performer whose act involved taking heavy blows to his stomach. Richards began by letting people (including heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey) punch him in the gut.Dempsey hit him in the stomach a reported total of seventy-five times. He then progressed to letting people jump on his belly, being struck by a two-by-four, being struck by a sledgehammer, and finally being shot by a 104-lb or 47 kg (more like firing a 50kg bag of cement) cannonball from a spring-loaded 12 ft. (3.6 m) cannon. Richards limited his cannonball act to twice per day, as performing it more often was too painful. Richards died on February 7, 1969, at the age of 81. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_"Cannonball"_Richards 1 Like |
