A daredevil has been filmed standing up on a fairground gravity wheel ride as it spins at high speed.

The popular ride uses centrifugal force to pin thrill-seekers to the wall, against which they are supposed to lie completely flat.

But a jaw-dropping clip filmed last month at a festival in Scotland shows a man standing on the wall with his head towards the centre of the rapidly-spinning ride.
