Jennifer Smith, who stands 5-foot, 2 1/2-inches tall on the ground, has been a human cannonball for 18 of her 34 years.

Professionally known as the “Cannon Lady,” she is shot out of a 27-foot cannon barrel, and in less than a half second, she accelerates to more than 50 miles per hour, shooting 40 feet into the air and 82 feet across the Palm Bay Fair grounds at Space Coast Harley-Davidson.

She carries on the family dynasty.  Her father, Dave “Cannonball” Smith, quit catching other aerial artists in 1975, built a cannon, and began flying wireless.

At 66, Dave is still at it, traveling around the world blasting over Ferris wheels and maintaining his Guinness World’s Record for the longest human cannonball run.

“He’s a machine,” said Jennifer said of her father. “Nobody can touch him.” 

Jennifer has appeared on the Tonight and Today shows, the Discovery Channel, and has been featured in USA Today and National Geographic for Kids.

Smith will perform three free shows during the Palm Bay Fair, including on Friday, Oct. 17, at 5 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 18 at 8 p.m.; and on Sunday, Oct. 19 at 3 p.m.  Admission to all three shows is free with paid admission to the Palm Bay Fair of $15, which also includes unlimited rides at the fair.
