AN EXHILIARATING VIDEO showing a series of death-defying aerial stunts some of which were performed by WW1 veterans and civilian stuntwomen shows that daredevil compilations are not just a recent phenomenon. The incredible video from the early 1900???s features a man escaping from a straightjacket while hanging upside down from a plane in mid-flight, while in another clip a man in a bathtub can be seen being hoisted hundreds of feet into the sky by a balloon. Further clips from the film show a plane ploughing full-speed into the side of a barn, while perhaps the most terrifying shot sees a man hanging onto the harness underneath a plane using only his teeth / mediadrumworld.com
