A man performing a human cannonball act at a stunt show in Kent has died
after a safety net failed.
.
The accident happened at a performance of Scott May's Daredevil Stunt Show
at the Kent county showground in Detling on Monday afternoon. The
23-year-old stuntman was taken to Maidstone General hospital by air
ambulance where he died.
.
Kent police said: "A man taking part in a human cannonball event this
afternoon has died after it is believed a safety net failed to engage. His
next-of-kin have been informed but he has yet to be formally identified."
.
A statement on the Scott May website stated: "With our apologies, due to
unforeseen circumstances all shows have been cancelled until further
notice." An evening show due to start at 7.30pm did not go ahead.

A human cannonball was dramatically killed today when the stunt went
tragically wrong in front of a huge crowd.
.
Horrified onlookers watched helplessly as the 23-year-old man was fired
from the cannon only for his safety net to fail to engage properly.
.
Bystanders who had flocked to see the Bank Holiday stunt at a county show
said the man was knocked unconscious and had blood pouring from his mouth
moments after impact.
.
The accident happened during a performance at the Kent County Showground
in Detling, Kent, this afternoon.
.
An evening performance was immediately cancelled and police cordoned off
the showground as officers investigated the tragedy.
.
Members of the public were told to avoid the area and all of the Scott May
daredevil shows were cancelled.
