How far could you toss 70 lbs?

Current New Years Eve debate amongst the tripods at a gathering. To keep from getting banned, I’ll just say the 70lbs is in the shape of a small adult homo sapien. And how would you toss?
“About 3.50”, “Three fiddy”, and all other variants are understood answers.

Obviously, it depends on the shape and size of the 70lb object, and whether or not the grip is secure or awkward. Aerodynamics, terrain, weather conditions, and moon phases will also be a major factor in this event.

From a standing start? Can I make a run at it or spin around like a shotputter? Technique matters a lot.

I got the image of a little person projectile vomiting as they fly through the air.

Can rent a live body for 2 hours at $850 but it’s probably too late in the evening. Includes tossing, I’ve checked.

Let’s say you have a 6 foot circle. You can spin if you want, or run and go… just stay inside the circle.

There’s a lot of pine straw on my garage roof and said I wish I could just toss someone up there to clean it off. Then the conversation escalated.
I got my 70lb dumbbell out, and no one could throw it more than 6-7 feet. But then the question about mass distribution come into play, because some people think that difference will make them significantly stronger apparently.

Room for another tosser to bring the rent cost down, if you’re interested.

Mr. T became famous taking part in this particular activity.

That could affect both distance and aerodynamics.

It’s a consensual toss. Let’s pretend they want to also know how far they can be tossed and are cheering you on whilst you are tossing.

Hmm…with rotational motion and a willing midget, could probably get 10 feet on a perfect angle.
Hold an arm and leg, get good centrifugal force…yea, seems doable.
