Caught on camera: A man pulling a bizarre stunt dubbed 'Superman' stunt on a two-wheeler
A 24-year-old man who was filmed pulling a dangerous stunt on a busy highway in Brazil has been arrested. The man was filmed laying across his two-wheeler, using just one hand to steer it, with his feet up in the air behind him. His pose appeared to mimic flying. It is for this reason that the risky stunt is sometimes dubbed the "Superman" stunt.
