A new idea for public transit

[SuperTronGodTopia]

I think the Mushroom Kingdom will benefit immensely from this new transportation innovation.

<zzzzzzzzzzzz>

Huh, wat?
Yes, yes, very interesting. Do go on.

<zzzzzzzzzzzz>

Ok.
Kid's version:

won't work but as a manmalade maker

Now I am not great a physics but my Google fu reveals the maximum range a human cannon, with a trained stuntman in heavy protective gear has been shot is a mere 60m.

Well I think magical warp pipes already work better for them.

So we augment with springs attached to footwear.
Geez, do I have to think of everything?
Where the hell is Herpy anyway?
This was their idea.

Sorry, was busy with stuff.

Ok going with the 40 m thing, that is still a cool way to move around.

Won't protect you againt long-term brain damage.

I think here's how it'd end up.

Skinny people would either:

Fly through the holes in the net and die from smacking into the ground or the angle could be wrong and they die by smacking into the ground.

Average person would either:

The angle is wrong, they smack into the ground and die.
They end up getting minced by flying through the net at high speed.

A fat person would either:

Angle is wrong, they MIGHT survive, anybody who is in the person's path would get smashed by a meat-eor.
They get minced by flying through a net at high speed.
They break the net upon impact and crush the people behind and below it.

I... uh... think I'll take the bus instead.

Teach everybody instant transmission, they'll get there even faster than before.

Not really efficient or logical. And the mere 60m is the maximum with a professional in protective gear. Plus it is still very painful and dangerous. 60m is not going to be applicable to most people. Not sure how long you can fire a normal person in normal clothes (what about groceries? People with disabilities or who are older?) but obviously it would be much shorter. And still painful and dangerous.

There is a reason why it is only used as a circus stunt.

We are NSers.
That really is not an issue.

[Outer Sparta]

I'm not sure launching us from point A to point B via cannon is right. What about certain physics and the tiniest of wrong placements and angles can be potentially fatal.

[Herargon]

Ok, I thought of a new way of public transit thats

1.Free to ride
2.Is impervious to terrorist attacks
3.Green
4.Awesome
5.Is safer then driving a car

I did this in my NS nation and most people thought it was a good idea.

The idea is:

Big air powered cannons that will blast you from place to place via cannons and safety nets. Safety nets get replaced daily.

What do you guys think about this actually being a real world?

That exists, it's called a Hyperloop.

Oh, and it's ''Is safer than driving a car', not 'Is safer then driving a car'.

[Galloism]

Although this idea amuses me, I'd like to object with one word:

WIND

That is all.

Unless you are carrying grenades, and are wearing springs on your shoes.
Then it is suitably unsafe for the adventurist type.

The problem (besides grammar) is OP's claim is false. Apparently the human cannon thing is quite dangerous and complicated.

A philosophical car drive. Your car will run out of fuel, you will lose touch with your friends and family, and you will lose your sense of direction.

Then you find your way home a few years later, walk in the door, meet total strangers, and write a book about it.

Not to mention what happens if they launch someone with the wrong pressure setting...

Also crows, Ravens, vultures, lawyers and other scavengers who delight in finding dead, smashed bodies and feeding off them.

Well it does happen. Of course this results in horrific, often fatal injuries.

This one guy measured the pressure slightly wrong. He smashed his head and died.
