People have attempted the loop the loop in a number of ways, most of which involve wheels of some sort, yet the Human Loop the Loop is something entirely different. It is the first attempt using only the power of the stunt man's legs. In this case, the stunt man happens to be [Damien Walters](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damien-walters). He attempted to run a giant hamster wheel all the way around--and he succeeded with flying colors.

Part of an [ad campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-campaign) for Pepsi Max, the Human Loop the Loop is now a [viral video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k18hairflip-2026) with over 1.5 million views. Considering the feat accomplished, it is surprising that not more people have seen it. Inspired by the Pepsi Max slogan, "Brings You the Unbelievable," it is a stunt worthy of shock, awe and praise.
