The Backflip | Science of Stupid | National Geographic UK

Backflips don't really need to adhere to the laws of gravity, right?
In this new series, Richard Hammond introduces all manner of mishaps featuring brave, if misguided individuals from around the world and then explains the science behind their failure.

richard hammond talking like he can do one lol

[@Fcutdlady]

He isn't claiming he can do it . That's the point. Things like this should be left to either trained parkour athletes or professional stunt people . He's just explaining the science behind these things

[@josefwakeling7103]

@@Fcutdlady i'm fairly well versed on the science of it and can do one, ur right tho, explaining it should be left to people like me (not me tho i can't be bothered)

National Geographic often used to discuss topics on Charles Darwin, now it discusses those who won or contended the Charles Darwin Awards.
