A 300 lb. man with quick reflexes and strong arms might be able to keep himself from being skewered and thrown through the air.
Pound for pound of muscle, most animals are approximately 2-3 times as strong as humans. Problem is, they're all muscle.Chimps are regularly recorded dead-lifting 600-800 pounds on a pull handle using one arm. The same article estimated that gorillas can probably sling around 1600-2000 pounds without breaking much of a sweat. I personally saw one stretching a radial tire on a rope like a rubber band with his hands.
