Before the 1780s (when the first hot air balloons were invented), it's not likely that any human had EVER spent an entire 10 seconds in the air, completely without contact with the ground. They would have to fall over 500m or go up nearly 250m and back down. For context, the world record cliff jump into water is under 60 meters, or barely over 1/9th of this distance.

Wow, that's quite a while after blimps and hot air balloons being invented, I'm surprised.

No-one in medieval times ever catapulted or trebuchet'd one?

“When pigs fly” must have been a saying then too..

And the first sheep flew in 1783, in a hot air balloon. Take that, pigs !

I love that the piglet looks so proud and happy about it (yes I know the reality may have been different, but it just kinda looks that way)
