I don't get the point of this but good for him I guess, not being dead is good sign.

"It seems crazy, but a Hollywood stuntman has completed a no-look backflip over a car racing towards him at about 100 kilometres per hour.

Damien Walters, who has been a stunt double for Daniel Craig in the James Bond movie, Skyfall, took two-days of tests and practice before the successful attempt was completed in Mexico City.

The Huffington Post reported the stunt has been labelled the "Leap of Faith" and it is believed to be the world's first ever blind car-leap.

The stunning stunt shows Walters backflipping at the very last moment as the car raced towards him and he lands safely after the car has passed.

"Had I jumped too early, I would have hit the back of the car with my head, and if I jumped too late, the car would have hit my legs," the Huffington Post reported Walters as saying.

""It took two days of practicing and timing the jump perfectly to make sure that I was able to clear the car safely.""

""As the dangers were obvious, it was very important that we worked with trained professionals and why it should never be attempted by anyone else.""

Must have been a difficult jump considering how heavy his balls must be.
