Wheel of Death

Northern California

Billed as the "most dangerous stunt" of the entire Barnum & Bailey Circus, this guy climbs up onto the spinning "Wheel of Death" and, at it's zenith, does a complete somersalt...all without a safety net. Pretty high drama, especially since this guy looked really nervous and was pretty shaky up there while performing lesser stunts as seen in this shot: http://www.pbase.com/image/5728254 (all an act to gain audience sympathy, I'm sure). I just happened to snap the shutter at the absolute peak. And, yes, he landed it just fine.
