Job Centre advertises for wall of death rider

 

A bizarre job has appeared among the wanted ads for carpet fitters and sales assistants on the Job Centre Plus website -- Wall of DEATH rider.

Would-be workers will need to be willing to ride a motorcycle at death-defying speeds around the inside of a 30ft diameter wooden cylinder… vertically.

Employers say candidates should have a clean driving licence, not be afraid to take risks and certainly not suffer motion sickness.

Wall of death performers start by circling the bottom of a wooden cylinder, slowly increasing speed until they build up enough centrifugal force to drive up the 20ft walls of the cylinder.

The advert says the salary is negotiable… but they couldn't pay me enough.

per hour and raising up to 60 miles per hour.

The wall is 30ft in diameter and the G force is equivalent to a formula 1 driver travelling at 180 miles per hour.

Bosses say training will be given on a push bike and then progress onto 1920s built Indian Motor Cycles - The Wall of Death is currently touring with Carters Steam Fair.
