Outlook

Available for over a year

There are some 150 circuses in Chile but only two of them have human cannonballs. That is because it is an extremely risky act and you have to be very specially trained to do it. Outlook’s Jane Chambers went to meet Matute Alvarez to find out what it takes to be a human cannonball. Image and credit: Matute Alvarez
