When Siege Engines are loaded with people rather than rocks/bombs/plague victims. Typically in the context of a siege, so as to get attackers on a walltop quickly, or to give particularly tough characters a Dynamic Entry. Artistic License – Physics is usually required to avoid the problems of how to launch someone in a controllable manner and enable them to survive the landing; the person might just have to be Super Tough or Made of Iron. Title comes from a Darwin Award (that isn't about this, but a Tree Buchet-induced death). See also Fastball Special, Human Cannonball, Abnormal Ammo. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Fyer's Cannon is capable of shooting someone to the desert, but that destination is forbidden without a permit (Link receives one from Auru, who is one of Fyer's closest friends). Much later in the game, the sole transportation method between the ground and the high skies to reach the Oocca's homeland is via the even more powerful Sky Cannon, though it needs to be repaired beforehand. | |

Used as a death trap in an episode of the live-action Batman (1966) series ("Penguin Is a Girl's Best Friend"). Penguin has Batman and Robin strapped upon a catapult, with movie cameras strapped to their calves to record their flight and hard landing. The catapult will be released when a taut rope is burned through. The Dynamic Duo do manage to escape this trap through their own technology. | |

The dramatic ending to the tutorial zone for Champions Online features your character carving a path through the Qular invasion into the Hall of Champions. Once there, you finally pound through to the controls for the massive cannon outside. BUT WAIT, you're undoubtedly thinking to yourself, "We've established that nothing we've tried can penetrate the mothership's shields!" Well that's when Ironclad climbs into the cannon... And he one-shots the entire mothership. | |

The MythBusters tested a myth regarding using this technique via a portable slingshot to illegally cross the U.S. border. Unfortunately, as Jamie put it, "humans are big, heavy things", and any slingshot powerful enough to accomplish the distances state in the myth (300 yards) wouldn't be even remotely portable; the MythBusters' use of radio towers wasn't enough to do that. Not to mention the likely injuries suffered when landing after travelling that distance. | |

Near the end of Hero of Sparta 2, after defeating Hades' mooks you then launch yourself towards Khronos' island via catapult while avoiding flaming arrows coming towards you. It's also one of the longest catapult to glories in history, the subsequent stage having you thrown through the skies and remaining airborne for two minutes. | |

Done with trebuchets a few times in A Practical Guide to Evil. In the First Battle of Liesse, after an important shot misses with the first stone, Catherine could distantly hear her Senior Sapper screaming that if the second shot is off that badly, the third shot will be launching the offending engineer. During the Second Battle of Liesse, Adjutant rides a trebuchet stone into battle to join Catherine for the taking of the outer bastion. He ends up injured, but not badly enough to slow him down. In the siege of the Red Flower Vales, when General Nekheb strafed the Proceran army the Valiant Champion tried to have herself launched at them from a catapult, but the engineer insisted that she couldn't survive that and refused to cooperate. While fighting the Dominion, General Rumena reinforces a faltering battle line by catapulting Mighty Jindrich into the enemy lines. |

In the Paranoia adventure Alpha Complexities, R&D offers a gigantic human slingshot as the only way the Troubleshooters can possibly get to their mission location on time. Given that even toothbrushes from R&D are usually fatal, the Troubleshooters are expected to insist on walking, especially after talking to the suspiciously nervous tech. Anyone who uses the slingshot passes out from the G-forces, but then wakes up lying on a giant mattress, perfectly unharmed. | |

Though a fan-made piece by Zack Weinersmith of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, the Team Fortress 2 map cp_smbcastle features a catapult for attacking teams to fling themselves over enemy walls. It's appropriately nonsensical and every bit as funny as it sounds to send a fat Russian man flying over a castle wall with his minigun spinning. | |

There are at least three places in World of Warcraft where you can do this: One is in the first bossfight of the Ulduar raid, where the players get to control siege vehicles and fight against a giant steam-tank. A passager of the catapult-like siege vehicle can load himself in the catapult and be fired onto the boss, where he can destroy some turrets and temporarily immobilize the boss. One is in the Isle of Conquest battleground, which also features vehicles, one of which is a catapult specifically designed to do this. It has low health and no weapons, but it can be used to launch people over the walls of the enemy keep or onto their keep towers. A a quest in the Worgen starting zone involves hijacking a Forsaken Catapult and using it to launch yourself onto their invading ships. |

If Wishes Were Ponies: Harry and the CMC build a trebuchet and begin launching themselves. It quickly becomes popular. Once they finish building a larger one, some enterprising pegasi decide it would be great fun to use the flung ponies to play dodge-ball. Then an equally enterprising unicorn decided to make the dodging pagasi's jobs harder by firing off spells while they're still mid-flight. The pegasi in question just take it as a challenge. | |

The Order of the Stick: During the siege of Azure City, Redcloak loads the goblinoid army's catapults with Titanium elementals (just as strong as Earth Elementals and 40% lighter) he'd Summoned: not only do they breach the walls, they stick around to fight. Later in the same siege, Heroic Comedic Sociopath Belkar suggests that the Order do the same thing to reach the throne room, after flinging the two nameless soldiers first to adjust their aim. Predictably, no one agrees. |

In Supreme Commander 2, the UEF side can build a giant artillery cannon that is also a giant factory. It builds a small army (more quickly and more cheaply than regular factories do) and fires them across the map where they parachute to the ground. It's useful for parking a force right inside an enemy base. | |

Even appears in Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Marvelous Inventions has the Manapult. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs, however, and the Manapult almost always kills its pilot. In Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen, the gnomeflinger is a gnomish catapult designed specifically for launching people great distances as a form of rapid transportation. It's safe to use, so long as you're wearing a parachute and you don't crash into anything before you land. |

The Legend of Zelda has used this a few times. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: This is how Link infiltrates the Forsaken Fortress in the game's prologue. He's not happy about it, though. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Fyer's Cannon is capable of shooting someone to the desert, but that destination is forbidden without a permit (Link receives one from Auru, who is one of Fyer's closest friends). Much later in the game, the sole transportation method between the ground and the high skies to reach the Oocca's homeland is via the even more powerful Sky Cannon, though it needs to be repaired beforehand. Used in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword so that Link can reach an in-flight boss. The catapult is built by Groose, Link's rival and eventual friend. Tetra, the Pirate Girl responsible for Link's example in Wind Waker, enters the fray this way in Hyrule Warriors Legends. |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Spiral City has an unintentional example at the ending, when Gian assists in the final battle by using a giant slingshot to launch giant tennis balls on Onigoro's clones.

Mathyas in The Scorpion King stumbles into the Evil Overlord's captive scientist's laboratory during his first attack on the palace. When he asks if there is any other way out of the room, the scientist offers his newly invented catapult as an option. Apparently, he designed it for this purpose explicitly (but admits "there was a little problem with the landings") and he expresses regret that his boss plans to use the "transportation" device for war. | |

Suggested as yet another escape plan by Ginger and Mac in Chicken Run, though the potential negatives of the landing are explored when they use a miniature model of the catapult and a turnip as a chicken for the demonstration.

Warhammer Online : There's an ad for showing an Orc doing this to clear a castle wall. Orcs being the Plucky Comic Relief race of Warhammer, he goes too low and splatters against the wall before landing on a pile of dead orcs who had no doubt tried the same thing. In-game, you can fire yourself out of a Rock Lobber to get to the top of a dam in Warhammer Online's Greenskins campaign. Fortunately, the crew has had time to correct their aim. In the second cinematic trailer for the game, in a real blink and you'll miss it moment, you see another Orc smash into a rooftop, presumably being fired too high this time. |

Warhammer 40,000: Orks utilize a high-tech variant in the form of gretchin-guided missiles and one possible malfunction for the Shokk Attack Gun ("move the Big Mek into base contact with the target squad and resolve as if he had charged them"). The intended function of the shokk attack gun is to fire a tiny goblin into the target via The Warp, but that's more of a Tele-Frag. The fan-created Angry Marines have a vehicle class called the Angrinator, which fires Angry Marines directly into combat. Guns that launch Angry Marines (or giant cannons that launch vehicles filled with Angry Marines) are pretty much the only kind of ranged weapon the Angry Marines will use, as they prefer melee combat. |

Very early on in Hexen II, your path is barred by a wall with a locked gate. There's a catapult nearby, and when you get close, a sheep helpfully demonstrates the launch angle and what you need to do to get to the other side. | |

In South Park, the Moral Guardians protest the Toilet Humour Show Within a Show "Terrance and Phillip" by catapulting themselves against the headquarters of the network. | |

Angry Birds is all about this. On one side, birdbrained birds and a sling. On the opposed side, evil pigs hiding in elaborate-but-not-unbreakable structures. You must smash the pigs. | |

Doom Eternal: During a level on a space station in Mars' orbit, the Doom Slayer hijacks a nearby ion cannon, kicks the cannonball-shaped projectile out of the way, and launches himself to where he needs to go much to the exasperation of Dr. Hayden. The Slayer pulls the same stunt in part two of The Ancient Gods, where the Night Sentinels load him into a catapult and launch him into the walls of Immora without protest. |

The Tick: There was a superhero named the Human Bullet. His gimmick was to be fired out of a giant cannon - something which usually failed to help with whatever problem was at hand. The cannon even became a Chekhov's Gun (heh) in "The Tick vs The Bread Master" when it was used to generate a sonic boom large enough to detonate the villain's doomsday weapon (a giant soufflé). Naturally, The Tick himself had to be fired to generate the blast as it would have killed anyone else. |

In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], this is one of the more amusing applications of the Reality Shift function, it being used to load Pete and Beagle Boys into a cannon and fire them out of it; first blasting the latter into the former to get him to come down from his perch, then launching the former into a wall as a finisher. | |
