Findlay Toyota hosts David "The Bullet" Smith for his first Las Vegas human cannonball stunt
July 14, 2008
World-traveled, world famous and Guinness World Records holder David "The Bullet" Smith paid his first visit to the Las Vegas Valley this past weekend.
David Smith, known as "The Bullet," holds the Guinness World Records title from 1996 for soaring 181 feet through the air as a human cannonball. Smith and his family travel the world - including the U.S., Canada, Australia, England, the Middle East, Holland, and most recently, South Africa - delighting audiences with amazing daredevil human cannonball stunts.
Smith has worked professionally as a human cannonball for more than 11 years and logged more than 5,000 human cannonball shots. He is pretty sure he holds just about every human cannonball record; he just hasn't kept in touch with his friends at Guinness World Records.
On July 12, "The Bullet" shot out of his 35-foot long, custom-made human cannonball launcher to commemorate the grand opening of the new state-of-the-art 145,000 square-foot Findlay Toyota in Henderson (located at 7733 Eastgate Road, on the east side of U.S. 93 across from the Valley Automall).
David "The Bullet" Smith flew about 150 feet across the front of Findlay Toyota and more than twice as high as the building.
A cheering crowd of onlookers, including reporters and television cameras, caught the action. In addition, a new John Barr human cannonball commercial was filmed on-site using Smith's cannonball equipment.
As John Barr is fond of saying, "he'll do anything to sell you a car!"
Findlay Toyota is proud of two firsts: the first dealership to expand the Valley Automall to the east, and the first to bring the renowned and impressive David "The Bullet" Smith to Las Vegas.
