A paraplegic teenage daredevil has managed to complete the world's first double backflip in a wheelchair.
18-year-old Aaron Fotheringham made the amazing double flip after several failed attempts at a skate park in Pennsylvania.
Footage shows him being propelled forward by an extended bungee rope into a ramp which then flings him into the air.
The first couple attempts make rather painful viewing, but then Aaron manages to land successfully to cheers from the crowd.
Something tells us children are going to suddenly want wheelchairs for Christmas so they can have a go too.
