Was he breaking laws when he did that?

"Although it is against the law for anyone, including U.S. citizens, to enter the country outside an official port of entry, Smith Sr. won't be crossing illegally. U.S. Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar made an exception for him, said Border Patrol spokesman Kurstan Rosberg.

Smith Jr., 28, said the family insisted on U.S. government approval.

"I had to have some kind of official OK high enough up to make sure he doesn't land in the U.S. and go to a federal penitentiary," he said."

No, it looks like it was pertectly legal.

A little crazy, maybe. Here's a part of the article I overlooked.

"Tellez organized the cannonball launch with psychiatric patients at the Baja California Mental Health Center in Mexicali, Mexico as a therapeutic project . The event is part of an art series "
