This actually started out as the GQ:
If somehow you could be projected in a fairly flat trajectory across a lake, and you assumed a cannonball position, how far could you be skipped without being torn apart?
*Then it morphed, *
Maybe an arched, hyper-extended dive position, but horizontal, is better? But I still like the image of the cannonball…
Then it morphed,
How would this get done? Cannonball: construct centrifugal sling shot-twirler, guy’s in net basket or something, gets released at right moment/energy?
Then,
Trickier for horizontal launch. Person lies prone on pallet, maybe? Still dicey. Doable?
Then,
If this works, doesn’t kill anybody, and is fun, I hereby claim ownership of the idea. (Address inquiries through the admins.)
Thoughts on any the of pre- or post-morph GQs?
