A Globe of Death is a trick that involves a man on a motorcycle entering a steel globe and twisting his wrist to launch up the side of the globe. The globe can be as small as 16 feet or as large as 17 feet, and the speed of the bike can vary from 40 to 65 miles per hour. The act requires only three things: a big metal globe, a motorcycle and a rider. Learn more about the history, technique and safety of this death-defying stunt.
