Passengers on Line 16 in Shanghai yesterday were given a surprise gymnastic show by a 73 year old man. The man suddenly grabbed onto the handrails, and used them to flip around several times.
Surprised onlookers watched the man as he somersaulted, and politely clapped when he had finished. The Metro staff were very disapproving, saying that the passengers should have stopped him instead of encouraging him, but netizens disagree, with many expressing admiration for the septuagenarian daredevil.

From the picture you can see that everyone else was sitting down. I want to be able to still do things like that and walk well at his age.
