This right here, is a typical attraction at many circuses and town fairs throughout the Indian Subcontinent (Pakistan, India and Bangladesh). Here, we see a make-shift arena built out of wood, upon which a small sedan is made to run carrying two individuals.
Physics can definitely be seen at play, with "Centripetal Force" being the answer to the question- What keeps the car from falling down from the apparently vertical walls.
As we all know, Centripetal Force, is defined as a force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre.
Although this stunt has gained much popularity in South-Asia, it actually has its origins in the United States, at our very own Coney Island, to be exact.
