Stuntman backflips blindly over race car


Talk about electric.

Stuntman Damien Walters proposed a dream stunt to officials with Formula E racing: backflip over a race car as it speeds toward him, all while standing with his back to the car.

The timing had to be perfect. Clocks and cameras were used to help with setting up the stunt. Walters practiced backflipping over and over as a Formula E race car zoomed by him at 60 mph.
