basic example of foolproof is this:
back to 'cassette' era... were you able to try out that the cassette lid won't close when you insert the cassette incorrectly? that's what a foolproof was like to be then. it was designed to alert someone that they are doing the procedure wrongfully.
to hurl means to vomit (used as slang) - to throw in / up.
"I think I gotta go hurl."

Hurl = throw.
A drunk man may hurl himself in all directions.
Foolproof = can't be affected by tricks. (to fool = 骗)
(waterproof = can't be affected by water)
If a plan is foolproof, then it will be easy to execute, because no one can stop it. That is where the "easy" comes from.
