Did you know that it's possible for a human to do a loop-the-loop on foot? Well, maybe not for just you average Joe, but it is for superhuman free-runner Damien Walters.
Stunt-man and gymnast Damien Walters spent over four months planning with scientists from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT in Boston to try to complete the seemingly gravity-defying feat.
telegraph.co.ukPepsiMax sponsored the daredevil's attempt, providing him with a human-sized loop the loop (10ft high) in an abandoned warehouse. After working the math out, he needed to be going 8.6 mph at the top, let's see if he managed it.

To complete the circle, he needed to run at 8.65 mph. So, apparently it’s mathematically possible for a human to run the loop-the-loop.
… he finally did it. And it’s incredible to watch. He should change his name to Spider-Man. Or Hot Wheels Man.
