If you were being shot out of a cannon

Hi all

I have seen plenty of tutes that deal with gravity, & bounce of falling objects like balls, but what if you were attempting to depict a woman being shot out of a cannon as apparently was popular in the circus of the past. I am doing something for an exhibit of circus posters circa 1878 and 1939. I am not sure what happens to the person at the end of their trajectory. A net perhaps.
