Jo/Glyn. Thanks for the comment. I am also amazed at what these guys do. They are a team from the Ukraine working in China.

I have no idea how this works and how deadly these "machines" are. I guess the man have to keep running to avoid being catapulted out? Nice shot. Thanks for entering Ernest.

Hi Ernest. Oh My God! A FOUR man death wheel ..... there are IMO one of the most merciless peices of acrobatic equipment ever devised .... no useful place to put a safety net and always loads of metal bits to fall onto. A Chinese circus came over to my local area and I saw a two-man death wheel. I felt is was somehow 'not right'. One of the guys fell off it two years later and died. All the best
