The globe of death is a circus and carnival stunt where as many as eight performers ride motorcycles inside a mesh sphere simultaneously. It is similar to the wall of death, but in this act riders can loop vertically as well as horizontally. There have been three performance related deaths recorded between 1949-1997. The youngest recorded person to ride a motorcycle in the globe of death is Maximus Garcia who was four years, six months, and 28 days old on August 16, 2006. The only World Record recognised by the Guiness book was 6 riders and one person in the centre by the Infernal Varanne team
