Cannonball is a competition series that pits contestants against some of the highest, fastest and wettest challenges ever created, for a cash prize. Each episode features 16 larger-than-life personalities willing to jump into the deep end and compete in four rounds of physical challenges - from the speed slide Mega-Ramp to a thrilling Drop Tower to the explosive Air Cannon and more. Each round eliminates more hopefuls, until finally one champion remains.
