We've seen Sonic the Hedgehog run loops in his video game. We've done it ourselves with Hot Wheels cars when we were kids, and not so long ago, a real car did a loop-the-loop. But can a human on foot ever get up the speed to do it?
In this video, freerunner and stuntman Damien Walters (previously at Neatorama) manages to run a loop-the-loop on foot. Is this even possible? Only if you are Damien Walters, so don’t try this at home. You’ll just hurt yourself. It's a Pepsi ad, which naturally sparked jokes about the role of caffeine in the stunt. -via Viral Viral Videos

Would it have been cheating to make the loop teardrop-shaped like most coasters are nowadays? He'd spend more time running up or down and less upside-down. It would be more like Donald O'Connor in Make 'em Laugh. Or maybe that would be an even harder shape to run around. Not sure.
