This is the amazing moment a teenager performs a somersault as a Corvette races towards him at 30mph. 

Matthew Brown, 18, from St Louis, Missouri risked his life in a parking lot to pull off the stunt in front of a gang of onlookers who filmed him on their phones.

As the red sports car approaches, Matthew runs towards it and leaps into the air moments before the car strikes him.

A loud thud suggests Matthew may have made contact with the car’s bodywork. 

Despite this, the teenager makes it safely into the air, rotating once before landing on the tarmac and continuing to run for a few paces. 

One witness can be heard crying out: ‘Oh, my God’ after hearing the possible impact, but Matthew appears unhurt.
