Yeah, no sweat.

Let me get this straight...

Take that "leisurely step" after being shot 60-70 feet into the air, at the initial speed of about 65 ft/sec (19 m/s, 43 mph), travelling up to the top of the building in about 2 seconds. The cannon's launch would be similar to sitting in the driver's seat of a top fuel dragster pointed upward at about 80 degrees.

After this trip, a person might want to change their underpants.
