The Human Cannonball is a community-created promotional cosmetic item for all classes. It is a team-colored plastic helmet with a white stripe and an undone safety strap, resembling the crash helmets worn by stuntmen.
This item has three styles, named "Crash", "Burn" and "Override". The "Crash" style has no decoration at all, the "Burn" style adds Chinese dragons to the sides, and the "Override" style adds Team Fortress 2 stickers and dragon face icons to the sides.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Sleeping Dogs on Steam before August 14, 2012, and August 17, 2012 in Europe.
The Human Cannonball was later contributed to the Steam Workshop, at Valve's request.
