Death defying: A stuntman takes his hands off his motorbike as he races around the 'Wall of Death' at a fair in Srinagar, Kashmir
Playing to the crowd: This performer hangs out of his car as he speeds around the 30ft wooden wall
Using centrifugal force - or counter-centripetal to physicists - the cars and motorbikes are able to circle a 30ft vertical wall at high speed.
Traditionally the 'cylinder' in which the vehicles perform is made from wood, allowing for cheap repair but also making the feat that more dangerous due to the rickety nature of the track.
Huge crowds pack the top of the 'wall' to watch as performers climb out of car windows or take their hands off motorbike handlebars.
