A worker had a miraculous escape after performing an accidental somersault in a quad bike – while still sitting in it.
Kyle Walsh was reversing the vehicle off a trailer when things suddenly went horribly wrong.
Dramatic footage shows the quad lurching backwards before flipping front over rear with Kyle still holding on.

He is thrown onto his back as the vehicle crashes down – before managing to push it off himself.
Amazingly, he walked away uninjured from the incident in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.
The clip also captures his stunned workmates bursting into hysterics after witnessing the freak accident.
Kyle, who works for a vehicle breaker, had been attempting to reverse the quad when the mishap unfolded.
“It’s never happened before,” his colleague John Fletcher told Whats The Jam.

“The handbrake on it had failed and we suggested to Kyle he should reverse it off.
“But it just went end over end with him in it and hit the floor.
“Thankfully he was OK though and saw the funny side.”
