It all began in 1870 when a Canadian inventor, William Leonard Hunt (The Great Farini), invented a device in the late-19th century for launching human beings high into the air. It was tried a few times in the 1870s, before the first person, George Loyal, was launched from it in 1875.
Two years later in 1877 at the Royal Aquarium in London , a 14-year-old acrobat, Rosa Matilda Richter (Zazel) then only 14 years old was launched by a spring-style cannon invented by The Great Farini, for all intended purposes she was the first Human Cannonball, Zazel later toured with P.T Barnum Circus.
Cannons have changed slightly over the decades but all basically have the same principles.
