Stuntmen from Sri Lanka perform on their motorbikes on the walls of the “Well of Death” at a fair on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur January 28, 2013. Wall of Death is a death defying and gravity defying stunt that one often gets to see in various carnivals or ‘melas’ across India and Sri Lanka. The stunt features a wooden cylinder shaped like a barrel or an inverted cone about 8 feet to 50 feet in diameter. Inside this cone daredevils on motorcycles or occasionally on cars drive at break neck speeds along the vertical wall – the car or the motorcycle held in place by sheer centrifugal force.
