Ok, don’t just watch it, experience this extremely dangerous stunt in 360º virtual reality.
Daredevil and professional stuntman Damien Walters, perfectly times a backflip while a practically silents speedster drives directly under him. The stunt was part of a promotional video for the FIA Formula E Championship.
Now in it’s second season, Formula E is clearly trying to drum up some excitement. While this pretty crazy blind backflip would certainly qualify as exciting, I’m not quite seeing the analogy with electric car racing.
You can also watch the full production below.

They did something similar on German live tv a couple of years ago, and it went badly. Last time I heard of him, dude was still in a wheelchair. There was a lot of public outcry, but as always people move on and forget.
