This is one daredevil maneuver that can make your heart jump to your mouth. The video shows a ‘Well of Death’, an antic common at fairs in India. Walls of the enclosing chamber are nearly vertical, vehicles start from the bottom of the well and run along the walls. In this video, you can see two motorbikes and two cars racing along the walls of the Well of Death.

The cars you see are Suzuki’s Maruti 800, the most common car on Indian roads. Not only do these daredevils manage to keep the cars going on nearly vertical walls, they even perform some tricks while they are on the move. This thing must take some real guts; one mistake and the performers’ life may be in trouble.
