Your Heart Will Skip a Beat Watching This Stuntman Jump Over a Speeding Lamborghini
You might think the man in this racer’s stance at a white line is gearing up for a sprint. That he is, but it’s no ordinary sprint.

Getting ready. (Image: YouTube screenshot)
Notice the helmet. His run is the lead up toward a speeding Lamborghini that he will attempt to jump over.
The event, which took place at the Top Gear Festival in Sydney, Australia, over the weekend doesn’t have too much information surrounding it. Except, we did find a mention of this specific stunt in Top Gear’s promotional materials where it says the daredevil will attempt leaping over the Lamborghini going around 62 miles per hour. Top Gear also identified the stunt man later as Paul Joseph.
Not only was he able to complete the jump — landing on the other side of the car on his feet — but he does it all with style.

Flips over the car at just the right moment. (Image: YouTube screenshot)
Check it out:
Here’s a perspective from behind the car:
The Sydney event is by no means Joseph’s first go at leaping over a Lamborghini. He did it again at a top Gear Show in 2011. Here’s that footage:

Posted on March 15, 2013 at 3:22pmWhat’s wrong with 80% of the comment posts on here? ^ I felt like I was reading comments from Huffington Post readers? This is what life is all about; taking risks and finding out what we’re all made of. Would you rather this sort of thing be banned? That DC would regulate us into submission and we would never see amazing human feats like this because we don’t know what’s best for ourselves and for the sake of the greater good, such stunts should be banned? Sheesh, people. Get real. CELEBRATE FREE WILL, HUMAN ACHIEVEMENT, AND THE INDIVIDUAL SPIRIT!!!

Posted on March 15, 2013 at 6:43amIf you look closely, he “only” jumps about six feet, while the vehicle is at least 12 feet long. What is important is how high he jumps, giving the driver time to accelerate underneath him, clearing the area where he is landing. Still cool, though. Kids-Don’t try this at home with your parents’ Prius-it won’t accelerate quickly enough!

Posted on March 15, 2013 at 12:16amIt happened on some German TV show a few years back and the guy wasn’t so lucky. I think he ended up paralyzed. There have been a couple of other folks who have tried that stunt who have missed and landed on their heads and become paralyzed.

Posted on March 15, 2013 at 12:42amI have to agree. I hate to say it but many can do this and get a way with it but some will be seriously hurt if not killed. I just hate to see this stuff on things like Youtube and the like. I wonder how many get hurt trying to get their minute of fame. You can’t stop it Just hate to encourage these things.

Posted on March 14, 2013 at 10:22pmMaybe we can convince the Senate and House leadership that they should try it first to make sure it needs to be banned.

Posted on March 14, 2013 at 8:41pmAnother Nike commercial in the makes?
But on the other hand, why would anybody risk scratching a Lamborghini like that?
Oh man, now this has me thinking of some antics in some old Miller and Hinds’ Tank McNamara comic strips.
