Taking a risk really isn't my thing, so the stunt that famed daredevil Damien Walters did is just absurd to me.

Walters had a great idea of doing a standing backflip over a moving Formula E race car. The amount of timing that has to go into this stunt is just mind-blowing.

Think about it for a moment. Walters has to be so precise in everything he does. The fact he can only hear the car coming and the entire flip is based on to the split second timing proves that just about anything could go wrong.

When I first started watching the video, I thought it was theater of the mind and the video was made using smoke and mirrors. When you watch the 360 degree view you will see Walters did in fact do a backflip over the car.

You have to wonder how nervous the person driving the car is.
