Human Sonic the Hedgehog Damien Walters runs loop-the-loop

MEET the human version of our favourite 90s game. This is the first man to defy gravity by running in a vertical loop on a 3m high, specially designed track.

THIS dude is like the human version of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Damien Walters has defied gravity by running in a vertical loop on a 3m high, specially designed track like the ‘90s gaming icon.

In a campaign for PepsiMax UK, the freerunner, stuntman and gymnast had a few hurdles to overcome the tricky task, including some mind-boggling maths equations in which the record-breaker needed to run at a speed of 13.84km/h at peak height.

After a few fails, Walters finally flings himself onto the track and flips himself over ... on foot ... without any safety mats.

He runs ...

... He flips ...

... He scores!

Walters is known for his adventurous streak; he has previously backflipped off buildings, jumped over cars and has worked as a stunt double in movie blockbusters Skyfall, Captain America and Sherlock Holmes.

Considering Walters is a former world trampoline champion, we recommend you don’t try this at home.

Smouldering: Damien Walters makes hearts flutter with his stunt work ... and good looks.
